大龄哥哥真心请教：工作10年，part time选校及program建议

北纬30度

坛子里很多大牛，特来真心请教定位：
BG:今年 31岁，打算申请2016年入学
2005年毕业，不知名国内高校财务本科， 四大 audit 5年 + 国内不知名PE 3年 + 民企2年（到明年6月 3年）
四大期间：高级审计员。深度参与国内大型IPO两个，in charge其他外资企业年审数个，制造业居多；
PE期间：投资总监。主导投资项目两个，总投资额不大，合计约人民币5000万；后重心转移至风控部门；
民企期间：海外部投资总监。负责海外多个子公司（在欧美）的设立和日常财务监督管理，reporting和Analysis。
执业资格：AICPA
近期目标：集团财务总监。
公司战略上考虑几年后境外IPO，为了能够胜任集团财务总监，所以需要努力，打算读part time（美国，届时可以在美国公司工作兼顾读书）, 希望能认识境外IPO的一些资源。
4月底考G， 待G刷成功后再T

现真心请教：
A. EMBA or part time MBA?
B. Which school is more suitable?  

btw: part time可以办学生签么？ 或者B1/B2 可以经常去读书么（已拿到10年签）？
非常感谢。

Hi Frank,
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.

Hello there,
So far things look good here. You will have to take those tests and get those exams scores to know exactly where you can fit, but I like what I see.
Let me start with your first question: An EMBA really makes more sense only if you want to continue to work while you are doing your MBA. In about half the cases, the EMBAs will be sponsored from their firm, and in the other half they will do it themselves. It is a good degree for older, more experienced candidates who know they want to remain in industry.
The MBA on the other hand is good for those who want to take time off of work. It is especially recommended if you know you want to make a big industry or function change. In your case, I think you could go with either, depending on your work situation and needs. Keep in mind that the regular MBA is generally considered a bit more prestigious by employers, although an EMBA has its advantages too.
For the suitable schools, like I mentioned it will depend on your test scores, but also on your work experience, your performance and how fast you are progressing. I would need a bit more detail to answer you here.
Feel free to write back with any follow-up questions,
Best,
JF

Hi Frank,
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.
The plan is to work full time in a subsidiary (in CA) of current group with L1 visa. The employer will sponsor the time even the classes are on Friday.
I want to be prepared for a quasi-CFO of a potential listed company through a MBA/EMBA program while keeping current job. I'm not sure if I'm old enough (32yrs) and experienced enough (only 11 yrs) to choose EMBA. As you mentioned, regular MBA is generally considered more prestigious than EMBA. What's your opinion of a part time MBA and EMBA, will they be considered the same?

For the suitable schools, I will take GMAT test at the end of this month, and will update the result then.

Thanks again for your sharing.

Duke Cross-Continent MBA sounds a perfect option based on your BG and CG.
They do intend to increase numbers of students from Mainland China.

嗯，争取拿L1A

既然有好的机会去美国，就应该先搞定去美国工作为先。

我个人建议 你可以先移民过去工作为先，然后再读在职MBA 为了职业发展，这样比较好点。
