Hi all, I would appreciate any feedback you have on my non-traditional and slightly challenging profile.
Background and nationality-- female, American, mixed race, early 30s
Undergrad Information-- CSU system, B.A. Art History, 2.67 GPA (I worked part/full time all of school to pay for UG, I will expound in the optional essay.)
GMAT-- 570 (Taken last year, I've since completed a prep class and will sit for it again in September.)
Work experience and leadership-- 8 years full time in nonprofits (major public universities and art museums). I started in fundraising and membership (~2yrs), then marketing for 5 years ending with a manager title. Most recently, for the last year or so, I've been in a CRM strategy and management role (more of a martech position) leading a small team. I have several examples of heading up inter-departmental teams for projects and trainings. I've also been selected to present at industry conferences several years in a row.
Community and others-- Currently, I focus my time on two orgs. One, architecture and history, where I have been on the program committee for their annual fundraiser for 3 years. The other is shift volunteering with a local no-kill shelter. I've done that for a year and a half.
Post MBA goals-- I’m interested in broadening my impact within the field, particularly around creating technological growth opportunities in marketing and relationship management that will bolster net revenue and audience engagement, an area in which nonprofits are not known for their celerity. My long term goal is to be the CEO/Director of an arts focused nonprofit or museum where I can motivate a diverse team to develop forward-thinking institutional programs, promote an agile and entrepreneurial environment and create outreach initiatives and leadership opportunities reflective of the Los Angeles community (I plan to stay in the LA area).
Anything else? -- After I retake the GMAT I hope to enroll in a UCLA extension stats class.
I am interested in part time programs, ideally in the LA area but I am open to a flex weekend program that is not every weekend. Pie in the sky would be Anderson FEMBA or Haas EWMBA, followed by USC MBA.PM, and lastly Pepperdine. I am interested in McCombs Houston weekend program and possibly the Ross Executive MBA that has a Los Angeles outlet, though I might be a bit on the green side? I don't want to get too regional and am not looking at online programs. I would be interested to hear if any of these schools seem possible for me or if I am missing any that might be a good fit.
Thank you in advance!

Hey there!
Well your background is very very interesting, and just as unique as it is interesting. We don't see very many Art History majors going for MBAs!!!
Your goals make sense, and your profile seems sweet (although I would need to have some more detail about what you do), but the real key for you to get in, is the GMAT. Your GPA is quite low for top schools, and your GMAT is likewise. It's true that for part-time programs, they can be more open-minded and flexible than FT programs, but still, low GPA and low GMAT is a kind of double-whammy, so get that score as high as you can!
I wish you all the best,
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask, and feel free to drop on by for a free consultation: https://admissionado.com/free-consultati ... n=mba_blog
Best,
Jon Frank
