I come from a versatile background, having been brought up in 10 cities across India. I am an Indian engineer who did an MBA (surprise!) from a Top-10 Indian B-school and worked at the best I-Bank for 2 years. I switched into startup strategy roles and I am currently in a P&L role (total work ex. 5 years). I am looking at a 2nd MBA from a Top 10 or INSEAD.

Mr. Investment Banker Turned Start-Up Strategy – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan here from Stratus.
I’m not super bullish on your odds for CBS. You might consider retaking the GMAT to get a ‘wow!’ score. While I commend your work with runaway children, it doesn’t feel like a true commitment and doesn’t connect to your goals in any way.
I do like Cornell for you – especially the 1 year MBA program (since you already have an MBA). Cornell’s IB immersion will set you up for success.
