Emory MBA with full scholarship or Apple for more work experience?

There are many ways to get to the eventual goal of career progression and life long learning. I feel many MBA grads would dream about working for Apple and it could be a great addition to the resume to help with MBA admission and recruiting.

As long as you don’t feel your apple job offer is taking you the wrong way or slowing you down, I feel it is a solid choice. Your BSCHOOL chances will only increase in 2 years and will put more of your GPA trouble behind you.

PS. You can always get an EMBA or a FEMBA while working at Apple. Not the ultimate MBA experience but as I said - there are many roads.

I presume with your background, this role is in supply/demand planning team of ww operations of apple.
Quite surprisingly, you'll see a lot of top tier bschool graduates working in the same profile post MBA, maybe at a job grade 1-2 notches higher than yours.
I'll strongly advice to take up this position as it'll help you with multiple goals:
1. Greater brand recognition- if you happen to apply post 2-3 years down the line
2. You can push your GMAT further in case you plan to reattempt. 710 is still a solid score and remains valid for 5 years so hope there's nothing to worry
3. Apple brand will open doors post MBA also. Employers these days are increasingly valuing pre mba experience and students with more prestigious brands on the resume do stand a better chance to land up higher paying roles in the corporate later on

Emory is a great school but since your stars are aligned in your favor, I would recommend to still reconsider it and might give it another shot in a year or two.
