I'm considering moving to a new state to pursue a part-time mba. This could prove tricky, as I need to get into one of my target programs!
1) Basic demographic info: 28, male, american
2) Educational Background: mechanical engineer from Purdue, 2.37 GPA, 710 GMAT, 4 Pre-MBA quant heavy classes through UCLA Extension, all A's.
3) Work experience: aerospace structural analyst. I have been promoted twice in less than 3 years. I work in Aerospace at a large corporation.
4) Extracurriculars: Several professional clubs, leadership roles in all of them. Instructing others in seminars for professional development, hosting management dinner events, etc. Worked my way up to President of a management club at my employer. I have been involved with these extracurriculars in some form for over 2 years.
5) Short/Long term goals: I want to pursue program management and eventually become an executive. Prefer east coast or low cost of living states that are still fun.
6) Schools: Was waitlisted in round 1 for Part-time at UCLA and denied in round 2 (not from lack of effort). Considering moving to Houston to continue in Aerospace and matriculate at either McCombs part-time MBA or Rice part-time MBA.
I'm rolling the dice by moving first to show I am committed to one of these programs. Both are great and I would be happy with either. My GPA is the problem and I have a background story to discuss the reasons why...do I have a reasonable shot at these?
Thanks for weighing in,
Omni

Hi OmniPrep,
You have a decent profile. Your GMAT Score, work experience, academics and extra curricular are really good. The only lacking factor in your application is your low GPA, that can be certainly offset by submitting strong essays and application. You have fair chances of getting admit in Rice and McCombs. Infact I would also recommend you to apply for full time MBA program if are interested for full time MBA programs. I would strongly recommend you to seek some professional consultants helps to prepare your B-School essays/SOP. As the professional consultants have a fair idea on what business school is looking into a candidate and accordingly they can help you draft your essays highlighting your academic and work achievements.
You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md
You can also get your free profile evaluation done by the top Ivy league B-School grads during the webinar conducted by General Education on 3rd of May'15. For registration and more details visit our website https://www.genedmba.com/webinars-seminars/
Hope that helps.
