Hello,
I am not going to be very original here, but as everyone else, I was hoping you could help me evaluate my profile. I have been thinking about getting an MBA for a few years now, and before I start getting into GMAT prep and all, I would like to get an idea of whether I have a good profile for the schools I am targeting.
I live in Chicago, and because I have a full time job and a family here, I am looking to do either a part time or an executive MBA in Chicago. I have identified 4 schools: Booth, Kellogs, Notre Dame and University of Illinois. Very different rankings I know. Of course ideally I'd like to get into Booth or Kellogs...
My goal is to get into Executives positions, and possibly work in a different industry than Financial Services.
So here is a litte more about me!
34 year old female - French

Master's in Computer Science for management from a top tier French University
I do not know my GPAs, but I know I did not get excellent grades.
Job experience:

Appreciate any advice you can give, thank you!
