Hello Debayan,
Thanks for your patience as we get up and running in this new forum space. Answers to your questions:
1) 1 year programs are not ideal for career changers because the summer internship is a great opportunity for employers to take a risk on someone without previous industry experience. However, the top European programs might be a great bridge into consulting or banking from industry if you emerge as a top-ranked student.
2) I think it best to refer you to the website of these programs for admissions policies. I don't like to quote school policies in forums because as soon as I do they are sure to change.![:)]( "Smile")
3) Your school targeting should factor in where you want to work post-MBA. If you want to work in the US the US schools are ideal. Equally, the top international schools will position you best for jobs in the region of that program.
4) We are big fans of applying in Round 1. Always aim for Round 1 assuming you can achieve the same quality in your applications in time.
All the best!
Tyler
