Hello there,
Well first of all I would LOVE to help you out, but I need more info! WHICH Chinese university did you go to? What degree did you get? And what was your GPA?

Next, what industry is your company in? What company did you work for? Do you have any leadership? what was your title? How many promotions did you get? Where did you work overseas? And when you did, did you have leadership?

Then, if you have your real test scores we can begin to think about where you should apply,

So send some more information, and I'll do my best to advise you!
Best,
JF

Hi JF,
many thanks for your reply. I am currently working in a multinational company in Germany and my career goal is to become a CFO in industry field probably back in China after three years and I have one step to go in my current company. Originally I planned a full time MBA, after discussing with my current employer, my career advancement can be realized in the current company w/o a gap year by pursuing MBA in the short term. So I am thinking about a part time program as a compromised solution.
I am comparing LBS MiF or with a PT MBA in US like Kellogg, booth or Germany like Mannheim or HEC in France. Since I have got CFA charter already, I am wondering whether LBS MiF can provide me with necessary help in my career if in the end I want to be a senior manager in corporate finance areas.
What will be your advice then?
My BG is as follows:
29 years old;
7 years' working experience (incl. 1.5 years' international delegation in Germany, 2.5 years' head of finance and controlling in a manufacturing joint venture);
G: 690 ; IETLS: 7.0;
CFA charter holder;
admitted by full time Cambridge MBA ( but put it on hold due to disagreement from my employer for a full time approach),
admitted by part-time: LBS MiF (masters in Finance)
Considering Kellogg , Mannheim or HEC PT MBA per my location in two years if I give up LBS MiF

Best regards,
Chong

Hey there!
So I like your plan! And it's fantastic that your company is willing to support you. In terms of actually living and doing the MBA, I'm not so sure how realistic doing a PT MBA int he US is, (maybe a modular EMBA?). Also EMBAs should be possible for you, as they tend to be organized as such to advance managers such as yourself. In fact, I'd say location should probably play an important role, since your company will still want you to work.

For EMBA programs, I suggest you look here into the Top programs here: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/emba-ranking-2013

There are some really interesting combinations there, and I'm sure you will find something you love. In Germany you have of course Mannheim, Leipzig and the Berlin school ESMT, which although not as highly ranked as most european programs, might help you in terms of connections quite a bit, so think about that.

Otherwise, your profile looks good. It's true your GMAt is not stellar, but your work experience counts more for PT and EMBA programs, and I think you can do quite well!
I hope this helps,
Best,
