EMBA Profile Evaluation
[#permalink]

Hi Alex,
I appreciate your time. I am interested in you thoughts regarding my profile and targeted schools.
Background:
35 yrs old
Asian
College:
Played D1 Lacrosse
Volunteered 2 hrs/week at an alzheimer's clinic for 2 years
Graduated with a 3.2 (Psych & Pre-Med)
Post-College
10 years at a Big 4 Consulting company
2 years at smaller boutique firm
Consistently participated in corporate improvement initiatives, volunteer activities, etc.
I'm a Sr. Manager with extensive project leadership experience. I've led projects in excess of $14M and have had, at one point, 20 people reporting to me.
I've take the GMAT a couple times now and unfortunately my highest score is 620.
I have my sites set on top EMBA programs such as Wharton, Stern, and Columbia.
Questions:
1. I've already scheduled an interview with Wharton but considering my low GMAT is it even worth it?
2. With my targeted schools in mind, do I stand a chance with my current score? I'm comfortable with delaying my application until my score improves.
3. If I were to take my GMATs again and score in the high 600's, would adcoms frown upon the number of times I've taken it?
I would appreciate your expert advice. Thanks in advance!
