Hi there,

Thanks for posting. Your biggest challenge is that it's tough to go for a 2nd MBA, and the more competitive the universities you apply to, likely the tougher it will be!! While there is no official policy against it (at most schools) and it does happen.... it's tough to convince an admissions committee that you NEED another MBA, when there are tons of other very strong applicants applying who don't yet have one and truly do need it for specific reasons. If you still want to go for it, you'll really need to make a strong case for WHY you do still need this degree and/or how your initial degree wasn't sufficient, fyi. It also doesn't sound as though your grades were that strong during the first MBA which doesn't help. I would encourage you to do some more research into your next potential career steps and the best options for you. Good luck!
