Hello,

Your profile sounds fit for the mentioned programs, at the same time, one has to have a few points screaming out of the application, else all good points fall apart.

In your case

1) Please ensure that your essays highlight your entrepreneurship experience - especially abilities such as multitasking and Leadership
2) Your future goals (sometimes trajectory with multiple roles - entrepreneur and employee) fail to communicate clear future career path, so please highlight the same.

When you apply to part time /weekend programs, your story in your essays (with stories on your career trajectory, your professional growth in terms of skill sets, leadership etc) become more important apart from your GMAT and GPA, which are self evident.

Hope this helps, do let me know if you need any help in crafting your essays (refer to my signature thread for more details)

all the best
