Hi dreyrm3,
You've alluded to a variety of different subjects, so I'm hoping that you can answer a few questions and clarify some of what you described:
1) When was the last time you took a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)? How did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) Have you taken the GRE or a practice MST? If you have, then how did you score?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT (or the GRE)?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to? And when?

1) It was probably a couple years ago now. I can't remember the exact scores, I only remember the significant disparity between the verbal and quant sections. I think it was a 640 or 660 with around V46,Q32 or some such thing.
2) I have not taken a GRE or a practice MST.
3) My plan was to take the GMAT around June or July of 2016, with a
MGMAT course, and then a study program that journals and addresses my weaknesses. I think this will be especially necessary in the quantitative realm, trying to figure out a way to successfully complete problems while keeping pacing in mind.
4) I will be applying within the next two years. Since my job is pretty great already, I would consider applying to the Haas part-time program. However, ideally, I would like to go to a top 10 full time program for the networking opportunities and the immersive educational environment.
The list of schools to which I would like to apply are:
Wharton
Harvard
Stanford
Columbia
INSEAD
Oxford
London Business School
Seven complete applications may not be feasible. My undergrad GPA was only around a 3.0, and although I think I have a solid story and interesting background, in order to get into one of the above prestigious universities, I will definitely have to show the admissions board that I can handle the academic workload, especially when it comes to the quantitative parts, which is why I wanted to take the GMAT, and get a score of above 750.
Please give any feedback, or recommendations, it is all appreciated.
Best regards,
Rich
