Hello,
I have a bit of an unorthodox resume, as I have an electrical/industrial background, and now work for a large municipal government. I am in the process of finishing my undergraduate degree (graduate this fall), but have held a management position for some time. According to the schools that I have contacted (most on the list below), that qualifies me for direct entry.
Specifics:
Canadian/American MBA Profile: 34 Caucasian Male
Undergrad: NAIT – Bachelor of Business Administration, Management (3 classes to complete, will be done in Dec, 2021) – 3.9/4 GPA
Journeyman Electrician: SAIT/Red Seal
Alberta Master Electrician: NAIT
MMP professional designation
GMAT: 640 (Q43, V35, IR7) – am hoping to rewrite and get closer to the 660-700 I achieved on the last 3 OG practice exams.
Work Experience:
4-5 years of management experience. Current role is as a project lead for a large municipal government. Internal and external reports, 10 million annual budget. A blend of technical/government/management responsibilities.
Goals:
My post MBA goals are to advance within the existing municipal organization, but I don’t want to just ‘tick the MBA box’ – I want to be equipped and challenged through the process. For this reason I am looking to enter the best program I can, hopefully with a partial scholarship. Most options are blended/online, with the exception of Calgary (local, evenings/weekends, first choice).
Recommendations:
I have solid reference letters from my workplace manager and from an academic instructor.
Schools:
Calgary/Haskayne
Queens/Smith
Regina/Levene
Dalhousie
Schulich (possibility only if blended option is available in Fall 2022)
Reaches (USA - these are likely out of my price point unless a significant scholarship is offered)
Baylor/Hankamer
Johns Hopkins/Carey
Boston/Questrom
Any advice would be most appreciated. There seems to be much less readily available information on Canadian Uni MBA acceptance rates and scholarships.
Thank you for reading!

Hi,
You have a good profile with decent work experience. The management experience in municipal government makes your profile quite unique that will interest B-Schools to call you in for the interview. However, you need to align your experience and your preferred career path with a strong justification for how an MBA fits into the picture. This needs to be highlighted in your essays.
Most of the schools on this list should be possible to crack with a 640 GMAT score. However, for Queens in Canada and Boston and Carey in the US, you may need a more improved score, as the avg. GMAT for these programs are 660, 680, and 660 respectively.
I would advise you to work on the essays first as that will give you an idea of the strength of your application and then you can build on it accordingly.
Here are a few more programs in Canada and US you could check out for your current score:
Canada - UBC Sauder, John Molson-Concordia, St. Mary's, Alberta, Simon Fraser, Telfer, McMaster
US - SMU Cox, Texas A&M, William and Mary, Wake Forest, Thunderbird
