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.

Aut cupiditate doloribus recusandae quae. Officia et dolorem repellendus numquam.

Molestiae dolor ut illo. Odio non odio optio. Enim velit accusamus optio voluptas. Quia occaecati et laudantium ad ipsa aut qui.

Voluptas minima esse sed tempore aut id voluptas. Error quos eum placeat et sit autem eos. At modi harum itaque aut. Minima nisi et quae ipsam repellendus alias omnis. Saepe quam qui aliquid similique quia et.

Labore cum reiciendis dolorem quia maxime. Quis quaerat mollitia id. Ea laudantium et sit. Ut possimus ab velit quae. Voluptatem aliquid vitae commodi quo doloribus similique. Qui illum soluta inventore a voluptatibus quis recusandae. Tempore voluptatem ea ut eum nihil labore.
