Thanks for taking the time to review this....
Nationality: USA
Race: White
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Undergrad: Drexel University - Bachelors in Business Admin with concentration in Operations and Supply Chain Mgmt
Undergrad GPA: 3.2
Graduated: June 2012
Of note: Was teachers assistant to director of general business program as a senior. Extremely close with the professor and consider him a mentor.
Work Experience:
- 3 co-op's (6 mos each) as part of Drexel's curriculum. Not sure if this counts as work experience.
- 2 years (hired prior to graduating) as Manufacturing Process Engineer at an aluminum extrusion production facility. Earned lean six sigma green belt and had intense focus on technology, process improvements, and statistics. Managed one production line running 24/6 with maintenance on Sunday and had over 20 direct union reports over the 3 shifts. Offered huge leadership growth.
- 6 mos and counting as "Operations Transformation Analyst" at Sungard Availability Services, an IT disaster recovery firm. Continuing to specialize in operational/process improvement with developing business cases and solutions to present for approval to executive management. Also possess useful knowledge and certifications in the IT field, with computer programming skills.
GMAT: scheduled for beginning of October 2014
I am taking the Manhattan GMAT course starting next month, I am expecting 680-700, but obviously will strive for more. In addition, I am taking a single MBA course in Managerial/Financial Accounting at Penn State in order to help make up for a sub-par undergrad GPA. I am sure now that I want to pursue a part-time MBA program. My top two choices for fit, rank, and feasibility are UC Berkeley evening and weekends, and Carnegie Mellon Flex-MBA.
I am torn as to whether to get the GMAT and additional coursework complete, and submit my application in round 2 for Fall 2015, or wait another year and get it all in for Fall 2016.
Do I have enough work experience to get into Berkeley or Carnegie Mellon part-time? Need some advice as to whether to wait or apply now.
Thanks again!

Hi there,
Thanks for your post, and good luck on that GMAT!
I think you could have a tough time at Haas with just 2-3 years of work experience, as their part-time program average is generally 6-7 years, and it seems the # accepted with fewer than 5 is fairly small. I could see Tepper's flextime program being a bit more within reach though. It is true that often part-time programs, especially at well ranked schools, have an average age that skews a bit higher than full time. So, if you feel you could strengthen your profile some by waiting a year and applying, that MIGHT give you better chances, but it's certainly a personal decision, lots to consider! Good luck on the process!
