Hi everybody. I'm planning to apply the McCombs and Jones FT MBA program for the Class of 2019 and I would appreciate an honest evaluation of my acceptance chances. Thank you in advance.
GMAT: 710 (Q49/V38) 2nd attempt - I'm aware this is above average for both programs, but my undergrad GPA is below average so I'm not sure if my score is will show I have the intellectual horsepower to be successful.
GPA: 2.97 - I graduated at 23 with "graduate college, someone will give you a great job" as my personal definition of success. Eight years of development and two great mentors later, I am hell-bent on earning my MBA and entering the consulting industry.
School - Evangel University; Springfield, MO. (Small NAIA liberal arts school)
Major - Biblical Studies.
Military Experience - 14 years in Army National Guard to include six years working full-time for the military (civilian and military capacities). Currently a Captain heading into company command in the this year. I've help positions from supervising 30 personnel and $800,000 of equipment to overseeing all logistics operations for a organization of 800 with $54,000,000 in government property and equipment.
Civilian Experience - Since I left full-time government service two years ago, I have been employed with a steel company where I am currently an Assistant Operations Manager for a facility that employees around 100 floor employees in the Houston area.

Thanks for sharing your profile. You should be in good shape here. Now I would love for your GPA to be higher but you have some other things in your profile that help you out here. Your GMAT for one helps counteract this a bit. Also, you have a fairly unique profile and schools love the military so as long as you can show a good fit with your target programs I think you have a chance.
Good luck!
