Hi! Thanks for offering to evaluate. I'm trying to assess whether it's worth it to go through the MBA process.

hi
m3pa, thanks for reaching out. Your work experience is very interesting and you could get a lot of traction with that. If you do hit a high GMAT- and there is a difference in 720-760 but if you are in middle there that will also be a big boost. There is no reason not to give it a try at the schools you list- and even Wharton too. A big part of your success will be in how authentically and specifically you call out your successes and how compelling you are in why xxx school helps you get to the next step. We have counselors who are very good in helping you to draw out your most compelling stories. I encourage you to reach out to us for a free consult to talk more specifically about your case:

I think for the very top MBA programs you will have a hard time getting a scholarship with a 3.2 gpa at those kinds of programs even with an 800 GMAT but if scholarship is super important then look at the next tier of programs like Fuqua, Ross, UVA and UNC and possibly the high GMAT and interesting work experience will drive some scholarship offers.
(And curious about Wharton too)
