Foremost, what specialization are you looking for? what are your career goals?

I believe that Nottingham has an MBA program with a focus in entrepreneurship, but in general specialized MBA programs are harder to find in the UK than in the US, for instance.

My feeling, though, is that your work experience is probably going to be on the low side for a lot of the MBA programs that would otherwise be suitable. The Oxford program would be ideal, given that it's ranked in the FT and hosts an entrepreneurship center. But the average work experience tends to be around six years. You may get some points with your higher-than-average GMAT score as well as the fact that you are a woman, though.
