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.
