My Profile is

Experience - 10yrs (4yrs in India and 6yrs in US)
Age - 33yrs
GMAT - Planning to take in Sep 1st week.
Career Goal - Would like to move into Management Consulting specifically in the Retail Industry.
Academics - 9.0 (Masters), 80% (Bachelors)
Other Activities - Actively involved in lot of initiatives within my current organization.
Community help - Not much due to lack of time (professional and family).

Please let me know.

Hello,

Considering that you have ten years of work experience, a part-time MBA may be more appropriate for you. If you decide to pursue a full-time MBA, you should be prepared to explain why the full-time program is the best fit for you. I hope that I answered your question about whether you should apply to a full or part-time MBA program.

Sincerely,

Akiba Smith-Francis
