I’m in the process of researching Online MBA programs and I’m trying to gauge the strength of my potential application.
I’m 45 years old and I have 20 years of experience with one of the Big-3 automakers. I’ve worked in a variety of capacities including: Marketing, Finance, Risk, Strategic Planning, Operations, Customer Relations, Project Management and Internal Control. I’m currently in a leadership level position at my organization (i.e. middle management). I have a very strong work history in terms of promotions and complexity of assignments -- I am also Six-Sigma certified. I currently hold an MS in Computer Information Systems (2004) from an above-average nationally accredited university (3.4/4.0), and a BBA-Accounting (1994) from an average (regionally accredited) university (3.3/4.0). I also expect to have strong letters of recommendations from a VP, and an EVP. I’ve met with a number of admissions advisors to discuss their respective programs, and most have told me that a GMAT waiver is likely, based my professional experience and graduate degree.
I’m looking to earn an MBA to advance my career within my current organization. It’s worth noting that I love working in the auto industry, and I have no desire to make a career change, or leave my current employer.
Would I be a strong candidate for admission to the Rutgers online MBA based on my qualifications?
