Appreciate the clarity in your post. Your FAANG background and SWE II role across three major tech firms is definitely strong for Booth/Kellogg Evening MBA programs. These schools value applicants who bring depth from top-tier firms, and your leadership during a manager transition is a great behavioral story, just make sure it’s in your essays.
That said, your 159 EA and 3.2 GPA are both slightly underwhelming for these selective part-time programs, especially given the competitive pools in Chicago. If you’re not already admitted, you may want to prep for a possible 160–165 EA retake to better align with typical admits.
You’ve got great industry cred: just be sure your application highlights initiative, cross-functional collaboration, and upward mobility.
Happy to help optimize your post-submission storytelling or craft alternate strategies if you are waitlisted.
