MBA Info
· Why MBA: I want to build my leadership skills and business acumen to transition into product management in consumer electronics (Apple, MSFT, Google, etc.). Since taking on additional responsibility as a senior engineer managing portions of my projects and mentoring other, more junior employees I've learned that I really enjoy being the one to drive progress towards an end product. In my [specific engineering role], I've also gotten more exposure to the business side of the process which I've found to be extremely attractive as something I'd like to work more in in the future.
· Why now: While with increasing seniority, I will be able to gain more leadership responsibilities as an engineer, at the end of the day those responsibilities will be focused on very specific engineering tasks. I'd like to take a leadership role with a higher level view over the projects I work on, versus a very detailed view over a singular portion. The longer I work in engineering, the more pigeonholed I am in engineering roles. An MBA would provide me with the knowledge and background necessary to get my foot in the door of entering the PM side of things.
· Target schools: Anderson, Johnson, Haas, Marshall, Stern, McDonough, Foster
Background
· Work experience: coming on 5 years of total experience. >3 years at current company split between 2 roles, expecting to be promoted to senior engineer from regular engineer at the end of this year. 1.5 years at a different company before my current company. Both companies are top semiconductor companies.
· Extra curriculars: Part time graduate school for an MSEE (if that counts as extra curriculars)
· Undergrad school/major: Top 10 undergrad engineering university/electrical engineering major
· Other education/coursework: Master’s of science in electrical engineering
· Demographics: 26M/East Asian
Stats
· GMAT Score: 710 (35V/50Q/IR7), still waiting on AWA but I've heard that it doesn't really matter
· Undergrad GPA: 3.03. Grad school: 3.73
Question:
Is it worth reattempting the GMAT for a higher score?
Would it be more effective to apply in Round 1 given my low undergraduate GPA?
