If you have just completed the MQM program, do you feel the need for another degree so soon after? Anyhow, I will address your concerns. The high GPA from the MQM should demonstrate a more recent aptitude for academic coursework, which can be considered more relevant in comparison to an older degree . In addition, you could highlight that your strong quant skills help you bring differentiation in your work output on an everyday basis. Plus your MQM GPS is quant subjects is high which further underpins your quant capability.

Reading your profile description, i felt you may be focusing a bit much on the technical aspects of your job, which is not exactly what MIT is looking for. They clearly mention they are looking for mid career managers who have a combination of leadership skills (innovative leadership) plus systems level thinking. They also have an essay on leadership in addition to a statement of purpose. Maybe too much emphasis on just the technical profile may have cost you admission the last time you applied, so this is something you could work upon for this year's application. Even your recommenders may be highlighting your technical competencies too much, so do educate them on maintaining a balance. Another area where you should let your leadership skills shine is in the resume. Many applicants tend to make this technical and focused on day to day responsibilities. Instead, it should highlight your achievements and impact framed in the context of your technical work experience.

Ultimately you will want to prove to the adcom that this degree, in addition to the MQM and your 17yrs work experience will be crucial for you to achieve some ambitious career goals.

Hope that helps. DO reach out if you want help with your application.
