Hi Everyone, I'd really appreciate a second of your time in helping me assess my chances of gaining acceptance to the Berkeley Haas Evening and Weekend (Part time) MBA program. I'm only interested in this program. I haven't yet taken the GMAT and I have enjoyed fruitful employment opportunities over my career thus far, so I'm not inclined to bust my tail and take the GMAT if it's unlikely I would be accepted to Haas anyway, because I don't believe I NEED an MBA. That said, I'd really LIKE an MBA and my company has offered a full tuition scholarship to me for my studies.
Age: 34
UGrad GPA: 2.83 (STEM Degree Top 25 Public Research University) My biggest weakness, in my view
Grad GPA: 3.71 (Social Science Degree Ivy League School) Does this help my bad undergrad GPA?????
GMAT: Not yet taken, but assume I get a 670-700 which I believe is a reasonable target for me
