Hello everyone,
I got rejected by all the other 3 universities I applied due to low GMAT.
UC Davis, after the interview, suggested that I should transfer my application for Bay Area part-time/flex. so I wanted to have something to start for this year, so I transferred my application over to Bay Area program since it is very much identical to Full-time. I like the Bay area and want to settle in san Jose.

another option I have is UC Riverside fulltime MBA (where i can specialize/major in the supply chain).

Which option would be better?

SHould I re-take GMAT and try for better schools (USC Marshall) for the next cycle? or any one or both the options are good enough?

I am 33 yr old female, currently not employed. Undergrad: biotechnology engineering from India. joined US Navy after I graduated Engg. discharged from US Navy in 2016 dec. due to health after the military I couldn't pursue my studies. Since this January I have been much better health-wise, and feel almost back to normal (my pre-military health). Looking to get into the operations manager position post MBA.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I see the 33 as an issue. If you can get a great GMAT score, even then the schools would have an issue with that. Part time from a prestigious university may still be a better option given that you will be a part of the network
