You certainly do have a very good chance of getting in, whereever you want to go. I have to say, though, if it's Asia you're interested in then Indian schools wouldn't be my first choice. I'd look at places like HKU and INSEAD, both of which are profiled in find-mba.com. Otherwise, I think your best bet is to look at top European and US schools, as with your experience and GMAT score you should be a strong candidate.

Thanks for your reply lukeh,
can you explain me a bit better why do you think isb wouldn't be the best choice in asia?i saw that it has a very good FT rank and is a fast rising school in a growing economy...
furthermore india as a country is more interesting and probably with even better job perspective to me (as i wrote, i work in the energy sector and i like working in industry more than in finance) than hk and singapore.
many thaks again,
best,
pablo

Hey, you know what? I'm going to own up to a mistake: I simply didn't realise that ISB was ranked 20 in the world according to the FT (although I couldn't seem to find it on either the Economist or BusinessWeek rankings). So maybe it would be better. I know I'd rather be in India than HK or Singapore, and you're certainly right re. India's economy, especially compared with everywhere else nowadays.

Although i will usually second lukeh about preferring to be in India, after hearing the news this week, I'm not that sure it is a good idea anymore!

Actually I'm not too afraid about that. Not sure it's such a specific problem of india.
I'm rather surprised that ISB is number 20 in FT ranks but not even ranked in the Economist and Business week ranks!!
Ok, I know, methods can be different. But that's really too much...

Hi pablohoney,

If you really want to pursue an MBA in Asia, I suggest not to choose the Indian School of Business, even though it is in the FT Ranking. Why? Simply because it does not offer an actual MBA degree. What it offers is a "Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management."
http://www.isb.edu/pgp/

From what I've read before, in India, only universities are permitted to award degree programs (BS, MBA, etc). ISB is NOT a university. I don't know, I guess that's the policy of India's education department.

In Asia, these are very good choices for pursuing an MBA:

1. INSEAD Singapore campus - The 1 year program offered in the Singapore campus of INSEAD has the option of studying for 1 or 2 periods in the campus of INSEAD in France. Also, if you begin the program in the January term, you have the option of completing an internship, which is very attractive.

2. S3 Asia MBA program - A collaboration between the National University of Singapore, Korea University, and Fudan University (China), this program will give you a real taste of business in Asia. You will be awarded two MBA degrees - your "home" university (your choice - NUS is the best-known among the three) and a choice of one more from the two remaining. An S3 Asia MBA program certificate signed by three deans from Fudan University , Korea University and NUS Business School will also be awarded.

3. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology - This is if you're interested in Finance / Investment Banking.

4. Nanyang Business School - One of the more well-known business schools in Singapore.

Actually, it's a matter of personal preference. If you really like to stay long-term in Asia, I'd suggest the S3 Asia MBA program. However, if you want your degree to be more recognized on a global scale, I'd definitely choose INSEAD - I'm sure you know that INSEAD is well-known in Europe and other parts of the world.

I hope this helps in your decision!
