Post MBA goals :
1. Short ? term goals
Following my MBA, I would like work in Switzerland for five years for an international trading company or, better yet, MNC. I have the Permit-C, which allows me to work in Switzerland and I speak inter-mediate level French. I plan to improve my French language while I am in France.

2. Long-term goals
My long-terms goals are to return to the MENA region and help manage my family owned company which is involved in international trade, real estate and agriculture. I aim to grow my family business by introducing new business ventures.

I?ve taken my GMAT Practice Test and my score range is 550, therefore I have to be practical on the schools that will accept me.

Switzerland is full of terrible private business schools. Avoid them. But if you want to work there, then study there. Look at the MBAs in state universities, like HEC, and at masters in management programmes. The USI in Lugano is also excellent.

Switzerland is full of terrible private business schools.

It is, but beyond HEC, there are a couple good ones OP can check out:

IMD
University of St. Gallen

Both are ranked in the FT, and have good connections with local industries. St Gallen might be more appropriate for the OP - as it has strong finance and finance-related placements.

Dear Duncan, Ezra,

Thank you Duncan and Ezra for your feedback. I was worried about going to IAE Paris. As you said, Pantheon Sorbonne has a very good reputation abroad. But, I still needed another point of view and I am glad I got it. I will defintely research HEC Lausanne and USI Lugano. Actually IMD is my dream school, however from my gmat practice exams, I can see that my score is below their minimum. I will research St. Gallen, and thank you for noting it has strong finance and finance related placements because I am looking to improve my finance knowledge along with my entrepreneurial and
management skills.

Thanks once again and have a nice day.
