[MBA] those who’ve done a ~1 year MBA - would you recommend? Best programs? Ideally that have good scholarship opps etc. Reasonable cost of living too. Wanting to avoid company sponsorship, and have other personal and life commitments that make 2 years less workable at this stage.

Go to INSEAD. Loads of BCGers there. You’ll have an amazing time. Would recommend starting in Singapore for 1st 2 semesters (called periods) then going to France for last 3.

I’m a part time MBA student, but my close friend went through the 1 year MBA program at Kellogg. 1 year programs are fine, but they only work well if you plan to do something very closely related to what you are doing now. Also, a LOT of the students apparently had company sponsorship. He said it seemed like there was less scholarship money to go around than for the FT program. Full OCR access is provided, but it’s difficult because you get tossed into it right away and not being able to do internships is going to make it harder to career switch. Part time and FT students are given more time to prepare before being tossed into full time recruiting

What do you want to do after?

You’re not going to be able to pivot into PE after a 1 year MBA with only consulting experienxe

London Business School? You can pick how long you want to be there but don't need to do 2 years and could study in the US to get access to recruiting at say CBS.

But before you start applying to business school you need to figure out what you want to do (especially if you intend to do a shorter program) the work backwards into the gaps in your skills, knowledge and relationships that you want to fill during business school.

Emory 1Y? (though your exits might be tied to Atlanta and the South).

At this point you are too late for CBS J-Term.

Thanks! Appreciate the steer on what I’m solving for
