Hello,
I am a Marine Corps veteran with six years of honorable service. I enlisted in the Marine Corps right after High School and earned my college degree online while on Active Duty. I would like to know what my chances are of being admitted to a top MBA program. I believe the weakest part of my application may be my recommendations. I am having trouble coming up with recommenders who I am confident could write a quality recommendation.
Age: 25 / White / Male / US Citizen
Education
Pennsylvania State University - World Campus (the schools online campus)
Bachelor of Science in Economics, Minor in Business Administration
GPA: 3.98/4.0
No Extracurriculars
Graduating Spring 2015
GMAT
Total: 740
Unofficial Scores: IR:6 / Q:48 / V:44
Military / Work Exp. (No post-grad work exp.)
Honorably Discharged in August 2014 Rank: Sergeant / E-5
Six years of service.
One tour in Afghanistan
Stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Dakar, Senegal for 15 months
Stationed at the U.S. Embassy Beijing, China for 9 months
Stationed at the U.S. Embassy Dushanbe, Tajikistan for 7 months
Since August 2014, I have been living on my own in Beijing, China and taking Mandarin Chinese classes at a local university. The language classes are non-credit and won't be applied to my undergraduate degree.
Questions
I will be applying during Round 3. Would I be competitive for a top MBA program?
Since most veterans applying to MBA programs are former Officers, will being former Enlisted hurt my chances?
Since my full-time work experience is not technically 'post-grad,' should I look at schools that admit applicants with no work experience?
Would I be a decent applicant for Harvard's 2+2?
Can you recommend any programs where I would be a competitive applicant, in or near a large city in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic?
