Which MBA for an ex entrepreneur?

Hi everyone,

I cofound a company with someone a little bit before my graduation. It has been 5 years now and the thing is we are thinking of ending the company. It doesn't worth it anymore since a big change in regulation of this type of business.

I don't know if my profile would be appealing for a good MBA since my experience is only in entrepreneurship/management and retail. I might lack the skills that people can learn in big corporations.

French Male from foreigner parents (minority within minority from middle-east/Syria)

Tets : GMAT : first mock around 680 so I guess around 700 for the real attempt TOEFL : 106

Education : MSc in Management with an emphasis in Finance from a french business school : Grade 3.4

Experience : Internship in Capital market at a french bank (6 months)

Cofounder of a company in retailing *up to 5 boutiques *up to 6 employees *average of 5-6 millions € in revenue per year

Extra : *Fond of yoga, ski and martial art *Certified functional safety practitioner *Communication officer in a NGO (rights and liberty protection) *Good command in Swedish and native in a language endangered *A lot of moocs

I have no idea what I can aim but because my business is still in place and since I am european I think I shouldn't aim a school out of the top12. Do you have any thoughts?

NO QUOTE PLEASE.

Thank you!

Dear Scott,

Thank you for your reply. Do you for what kind of schools I could be a match?

I would say a finance related job but not sure which one. Preference for SF or NY.

 

I think we misunderstood each other. I don't want to be an entrepreneur anymore.

The ESCP MBA isn't good at all, it's not the same program as the "Grande Ecole". Besides I am more interesting to relocate to the US.

Anyway thank you for your answer.

Tempore alias consequatur aut itaque quia. Et veritatis qui omnis consequuntur minima molestiae repudiandae voluptatem. Accusantium perferendis et temporibus quia ducimus. Laboriosam consectetur nisi deleniti quae quidem sint et doloribus. Suscipit aut molestias omnis ex ea sapiente quia excepturi. Autem placeat error unde sapiente sequi id quia.

Ea iure est aut culpa pariatur debitis. Consequatur nesciunt nostrum vero eum reiciendis quisquam id ipsum. Laborum aperiam rerum laudantium vero earum quis qui. Dolore sit veniam voluptate deserunt sunt aut.

Blanditiis tempore et aut libero perferendis cupiditate placeat. Minima corrupti quia voluptatem. Velit assumenda ex amet id quod beatae. Natus et voluptates non omnis accusamus autem corporis.

Nostrum aut dignissimos sunt voluptatem quia. Eius id vero rerum blanditiis veritatis quis. Voluptas alias eum praesentium nobis eius.
