Hi, I found this forum somehow and thought maybe someone can help estimate my chances or give some advice out of experience.
In short:
I'm a male, 33 years old.
Got fired from my last work as an employee in a famous company and started my own business after. The reason I got fired is complicated to explain without making me sound weak - I kinda stopped functioning at work (as well as at home etc) after a traumatic life event that put me into some kind of depression.
My current business is doing ok to make a decent living but nothing beyond that so far, Still, I'm trying a new strategy at the moment to increase sales, time will tell.
I have a 710 gmat score and a gpa of 3.1, could be better but work during school did kill some of my grades. I volunteer at an institute taking care of women involved in family violence.
any kind of advice or thought will be highly appreciated
cheers

Hi there,
Thanks for your post... so I don't know a ton about you, such as how long you've been doing your own business, whether you will have people to write recommendations, how many years experience you have, your nationality, what type of schools you are interested in, why you want the MBA and your goals etc.... all that said, given the main point of your q about being fired etc, you will have to address it in your applications and be as matter-of-fact and concise as you can and then focus on how you've developed/moved on since then. Likely schools outside the top 15-or-so (US anyway) will be better chances for you, and then some of the other 'unknowns' I mentioned above affect that rough guidance more too.... good luck to you !
