I am currently a lead marketing operations analyst at a large software firm. I have held this position for a year and before worked as an associate financial analyst at the same company. Before I started with this company, I tried my hand at selling insurance for about seven months. At the time of matriculation, I will have 3.5~ years of work experience.
My post-MBA goal is to do operations consulting.
690 V42 Q42
Caucasian/Hawaiian male
Public Ivy – Finance – 3.1 cumulative and 3.5 major – 2008
I have sold onions for a rotary scholarship program every fall since high school - I volunteered during the fall of 2007 for a family that was holding weekend carnivals to benefit a cancer patient - I also spent a summer in college volunteering at a Goodwill donation center - I am volunteering, for the first time, with the Atlanta Union Mission this summer
I have been accepted to Emory’s part-time program for the fall, but I am not sure that this is the appropriate route for me.
Pros of the part-time program
- I live less than 2 miles from the Emory campus
- I can work at home on class days
- All of the typical pros of a part-time program (continuing to work, less cost)
Cons
- I am not sure I can handle work, school, and whatever else at the same time ( I would rather have my complete focus on school)
- I feel like the part-time program, while granting you the same degree, won’t help me in my search for a better career – this, even though the admissions department was enthusiastic about part-time students getting new jobs
- I really want to go to the best school I can get into
I am retaking my Princeton Review course and then taking the GMAT in August. I will be focusing on improving my quantitative score as my verbal scores were consistently high on the practice tests and on the actual test. I really choked during the quantitative portion. I was just clicking answers to get to the end. I feel like I can improve my score with some more preparation.
The worst part about it is that I have to decide by July 15th. This doesn’t give me the option of taking the test again and maintaining the part-time option.
My dream school would be Duke, but I am also very interested in UVA and UT-Austin.
Thank you!

You definitely have a shot at Darden, Duke, and Austin's FT program. It's good that you've decided to retake the GMAT. Currently, your GMAT is below average for both Darden and Duke, and your GPA isn't the highest either. In order for you to be competitive, retake the GMAT and break that 700-barrier (to be honest, even at 690, you should still have a shot, but why not increase your chance of admission if you can, right?) The way I view part-time programs is that most get sucked into it without knowing too much about what the program entails and what an MBA means. Why an MBA? This is a critical question that everyone should ask him/herself while in search for a b-school. If you're looking to jump career, it's most likely that a part-time MBA won't help too much (everything has exceptions though, but again, we're talking about maximizing chances [or lowering the risk]). If you're looking to stick around the same area where you're working and attending school, and that you're looking into the same sort of job, this part-time program will do you good. When you truly answer that question for yourself, you should be able to find the answer to whether this Emory part-time MBA will help you in your long-term goal. If you decide to forgo Emory's offer, I truly believe you have a shot at the schools you mentioned.
