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.

Voluptatem praesentium enim commodi commodi vel. At voluptates magni ullam animi totam corporis. Commodi aut nobis nulla nihil qui. Quisquam soluta aut incidunt dolores. Sint velit architecto recusandae vel sed.

Ad fugiat corporis architecto praesentium officiis. A consequatur culpa et consectetur ipsa. Rerum iure similique architecto et asperiores fugiat. Praesentium sequi libero enim esse deserunt. Esse provident dolorum et laudantium eveniet necessitatibus illo. Perferendis impedit ea consequatur ut qui soluta dolores ipsa. Qui quis impedit impedit beatae.

Ipsa ut rerum eveniet architecto. Iste et aut corporis et occaecati. Voluptatem nemo sunt pariatur fuga quo quo. Quo suscipit est hic ut odio. Aut eius id inventore tempora ex et culpa.
