Research MBA Programs :: RE: Which b schools should I look at considering my profile? - Research MBA Programs

It would be helpful to know your post-MBA goals, since different b-schools specialize in different areas, both geographically and industry-wise; this would be a significant factor in your choice of schools. In general the European schools will require a GMAT of above 700, so that's a pretty good target for you. It sounds like you have a strong professional and community profile, so getting that GMAT up to a competitive level would be your first priority. If you are looking at fall 2018 applications, your timeline should have you getting the GMAT out of the way by the end of May, so that you can concentrate on the applications themselves.

Many of the European schools have complex and unique application processes, and you want to leave time to research each program and produce a competitive application that is specific to the school in question, rather than producing generalized application essays and trying to fit them into different applications. In my experience, that's the biggest mistake applicants make: mass-producing applications to too-many schools, rather than picking a handful of perfect-fit target schools and getting to know absolutely everything about each of them.

Hope this helps, for a start! Good luck
