Yes I had some issues develop at work last fall and I really wanted to take charge of my life, I researched and MBA is one of the most diverse degrees out there that can open doors.. Of course, people know that but we can't say that to adcoms.. I had a chance to rush it to R3 but my mind was just too preoccupied...

Now at 34 this is my last chance... I have a PhD and have more than enough work ex in the field (which can be counterproductive for the MBA app, but I can't undo it anymore :( ). I know GMAT is only one thing, there is so much more to be done.. But I want to give it all I have, lest I regret it, later...

For now GMAT, 700+ is my target, though I keep making silly mistakes all the time...
