Good Executive Assessment Score for FT Columbia MBA

is it for the J-Term?

Also, I would appreciate it if you share your score distribution per section in the EA?

Did you finally get into Columbia? Your background is quite similar to me and I'm just very curious! I've been working for government for several years as well.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Just got dinged in Round 2 (applied late Nov/early Dec) without interview at Columbia FT using EA.

Stats:
3.62 GPA from top 5 undergrad business at big public state (Michigan, Berkeley, Texas, UVA, UNC)
153 EA 93% Verbal but like 50% Quant & 152 EA with 37% Verbal but 85% Quant. Took these days apart but couldn't get my good days to occur at once, so FML. Standardized tests are definitely my weak point
6 years of WE across product management, corporate strategy, and Advertising for Amazon, Microsoft, and internship at Apple.

Demo:
White, Male, 29

Extra:
From a substance abuse family, Dad in jail, poor etc. Went to community college and then transferred to university on a full ride (which was awarded based on merit and need). Just saying this for context not trying to whine. I was hoping my story would separate me from the "white tech guy" camp but at this point I am worried it doesn't matter and I am pushed into the over represented bucket anyway.
TLDR, I have no idea what matters.

Explanation:
From reading online, it seems like especially with an EA, ED is the way to go. That was not feasible for me but I think not doing ED and applying early December probably hurt me. Nervous that the rest of my application couldn't overcome my test score. Kind of thought I was allowed to have one weakness but who knows. The EA is still super new and that is good and bad. Good for maybe downplaying the impact of test scores but bad because the lack of visibility/transparency; i.e., I've read that a 151 and a 160 (from earlier in this thread) both got in ED, but a regular decision with a 166 got denied. Also, I got several answers from Ad comm ranging from 150+ being competitive to 160+ being good, so just a difficult thing to dial in.

Sorry this is a bit long, but wanted to provide enough detail. Best of luck to everyone else applying.
