I am interested in pursuing an Executive MBA. My undergrad GPA was a 2.25 on a 3 point scale. I have 14 years of work experience. Most recently, 7 years of IT experience. I have programming, requirements management, and project management experience. I am PMP certified. The next steps in my career are program management and/or IT consulting with the eventual goal of IT executive management.
The ideal program for me would be Wharton because of ranking and location. However, they require the GMAT. I have been out of school for a while so I would probably have to put in 3 or 4 months of serious study to achieve a good score. This would not be an issue except many other top programs do not require the GMAT for the EMBA. I do no not want to invest the time in the GMAT if being accepted into Wharton is unrealistic. I am also looking at Columbia, Cornell, Stern and Duke. Kellogg is also attractive but distance may be an issue. Purdue appears to be an excellent value at $69, 000 compared to $120, 000 at other schools. However, I only have one shot at an MBA especially at my age so I want to shoot for the very top. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

If you really want Wharton, then I recommend putting in the time in effort to do well on the GMAT. It's an important enough decision that you want to do more than just take the most convenient path. Pursue Wharton first, and then several of those other programs as backups.
