Thank you for your post, and apologies for the delayed reply as I was off getting married!
Assuming you’re interested in full-time programs, then I think the bigger hindrance for you (than GPA) is going to be amount of work experience. 10 years of experience at enrollment is going to be twice the average for most of these programs, over twice the average for HBS and Stanford, and three years above the 90th percentile for many of these classes (whose published middle 80% ranges are often 3 to 7 years of experience at enrollment).
You can make a play with respect to why MBA and why now, and try to go super deep and explain the heck out of it, and you do have a unique background. But the obstacle is definitely there. If you spoke to Haas, for example, they might point you more toward their EWMBA program as a better fit. Nevertheless, if you are drawn to “go for it” for full-time programs, I’d be happy to brainstorm potential school strategies, combinations, and potential angles of attack.
When do you take the GMAT? Please feel free to email me at

Best Regards,
Greg
