Hi,
GMAT 1: 710 Q45 V41
GMAT 2: 700 Q47 V40
GPA 2.2
Education: BS in Economics with Finance Applications from private school ranked in overall top 40
Male
Age: 31
Work Experience: 9
Profile:
- Spent entire career with a large texas single family office
- About half time spent on direct private energy investments in energy space, other half on investing in and alongside outside managed funds (HF, PE, etc) similar to an endowment
- Promoted to board member of series of trusts companies about 1.5 yrs ago, completed dozens of successful investments in energy and outside funds
- Applied to HBS/Wharton/Kellogg and a couple other FT programs a few years ago, all dings, I am sure due to GPA.
- Now looking at part time programs as I think it might be only way to get into top MBA program with my GPA
- Base salary ~150k
Extracurriculars
- Docent at large science museum. Wrote and teach two different classes to volunteers and museum employees about different topics in energy
I am ready and willing to travel every weekend for an MBA and am wondering my chances at Hass, Kellogg and Booth for the weekend programs.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I think you should be competitive at the programs listed. As you know the criteria to get into PT programs is lower especially at the top programs. You will have a strong GMAT, great work experience and some nice community involvement. Focus on why you need the MBA and specifically at your target programs and you should be in good shape
