MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

1) I have been in the mechanical/fire protection engineering industry for about 9 years now. I have led many large scale projects as a project manager over looking various other disciplines. Currently, I am the associate director of my division at a large government research facility, where we over look various projects.
2) I have not taken the GMATs yet, but I have been working with Veritas and OG and my practice exams range in the scores of 680-730.
3) Graduated in 2005 from University of MD with a 2.4/4.0 in Fire Protection Engineering (A mechanical engineering specialty)
4) Over the past 10-12 years, I have been very much involved with church working on community projects to raise money and to help guide high school kids as they look towards future goals. I have also created my own online company which was greatly successful and got bought out by a competitor. In the process I was managing 15 people, and working with various vendors both domestically and internationally. Also, I run my own consulting firm with one partner which is growing on a steady pace.
5) I am a board certified and registered P.E. (Professional Engineer).
6) I am looking at EMBA programs at Darden, Wharton, & Columbia. If those programs are out of my reach, then PT programs at Georgetown or Smith (UMD).
7) I am planning on starting my application process for the 2014 school year.
8) I would like to more in depth knowledge of management, finance, and also entrepreneurship. Using my past experiences and knowledge from my MBA, I feel that I could grow my consulting firm or even work my way up to executive positions at my current company.
Thanks in Advance.

You have the kind of profile that would indeed be attractive to your target schools if packaged correctly. EMBA programs are far more interested in what you bring to the table from your career experience vs. your undergrad GPA, so no worries there. The key will be relating your story in a way which seems intentional and purposeful and ties into your goals. The fact you have built and sold a small company will be impressive as will your perspective as a government employee. Particularly if you do as well on the GMAT as you expect, I see no reason why you could not get into your target schools. Let us know if we can help. I have helped many clients in particular get into the EMBA program at Duke.
