No problem! And do let know what the responses of the various schools are if you don't mind. I'm curious to see who is open, and who not.
Hello Jon. I have collect all answers from schools and as I promise here are the answers:
Stanford, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Haas, Tuck, MIT, Columbia, UCLA, Ross, Darden, Kellogg, Yale, Marshall, Babson
Undergraduate education is mandatory and these schools can not waive it
Cornell: "undergraduate education is mandatory but you have a high GMAT so you can try if you think that it worth it"
I was surprised by these answers because a lot of these schools declare that they have entrepreneurial specialization. I am ready entrepreneur with experience of creating my own software product and all this schools reject me because of this education that actually just a formality in Ukraine. Even Babson with average 650 GMAT and its position as entrepreneurial school #1 does not make exclusion: I realized that it is my mistake that I did not find out about this before my preparation to GMAT but still this is a little weird situation.
I know, it's a tough thing...
But they got their rules.
I do know that EMBA programs will sometimes accept candidates without a BA. Another option for you would be to wait it out a bit, do a pro forma BA (maybe by distance learning, or in a school which would give you two years of equivalence for your experience and apply for an MBA later).
