I would love to get some solid advice from some of the knowledgeable people on this forum about my chances of getting into B-School from a top univeristy in my early-mid 30's. I will give background so as to give insight to my experience as to give the best determinging factor whether I have a solid chance or not. I will still apply, either way, to the schools of my choice in 2022 regardless but perhaps the learned advice here will parlay into useful data that can help my chances or clarify weakness.
My current school is ASU, I am achieving a Bachelors in Data Analytics with a 3.81 GPA. I am currently a senior in my last term at ASU. I attend online as I am currently living in California, though I have visited the campus 4-6 times over the years. I am part of the honorary society of Phi Kappa Phi and currently aiming to be magna cum laude.
I have invested about 4 months of study for the GMAT. The first test I took I received a score in the 590's, last month I retook the practice exam at MBA . com and recieved a score in the 670's on the official practice exam. I plan to stop studying for now and do an intense 3-month study this summer after graduation in order to properly prepare and retain what I have learned. I know I need more preperation for the quant portion of the exam, thus more focus will be given to properly prepare. I want to shoot for 700. I will be 31 when I graduate with my Bachelor's.
Work experience wise, a lot of retail early in my 20's. I have worked for a software company based in Maryland as a CMS analyst for 2 years prior to them being dismantled and purchased by UnitedHealth Group. Currently I work as a district manager of a telecommunications company seeing over territory in Northern California and Southern Oregon. I have done this for 2 years as well. I do not have what I would call a heavy resume. I lived in rural California with little to no economic opportunity most of my life.
My background is mostly why I attended school so late in my life. I had a very rough childhood, my mother is an opioid addict, alcoholic, and recovered meth addict. My father was an alcoholic who didn't recover from being one until I was in my early-mid twenties, he is still an ongoing member of the motorcycle gang known as the Mongol Nation though he has taken less and less role in the club for about 5 years now. I suffered a lot of mental and physical abuse through out my childhood, in high school I would often times have to change in the stalls to avoid being seen with bruises. I dropped out in my senior year of high school to take care of my younger sisters. While my dad worked and made good money for the area, he often times wouldn't come home from work and that left us in the care of my unstable addict of a mother. My two sisters are both 8-9 years younger than me and I put a lot of effort into ensuring they were fed, washed-clean, and going to school. Often, my family would force us to go to club events with the motorcycle gang and a lot of these men would influence my sisters in a non-appropriate matter. I mostly worked for their future (My sisters), to ensure they weren't homeless or being abused. My dad has changed rappidly and is making repentance for his mistakes but my mom is still an opioid addict and alocholic.
I am also gay. Growing up in a household where I witnessed my father and his friends bashing on people of difference and physically assulting people led me to regress who I was. I hid for so long that I didn't know how to be me, my grades suffered and my social life collapsed. I remember very clearly being told that if a patched memebers kids were found to be gay that they would often beat the kid in order to toughen them up. I heard this rumor and for years regressed into a dark place knowing that I would potentially be harmed or kicked out if I ever lived my life the way that felt natural to me.
I am the first person in my family to attend college, I recieved my GED, went to community college, and transferred to ASU.
My halo school would be Cornell: Johnson. This would be my dream school but I doubt I have the academic background or work experience to make this a possibilty.
My choice schools are; CMU: Tepper (1), Indiana: Kelley (2), and Georgetown: McDonough (3)
My backup schools would be; University of Pittsburgh: Katz, W.P. Carrey, and Bringham Young: Marriott.
I would love to either go to Tepper or Johnson, Katz is my number one backup school.
Thank you for taking time to listen to me and offer advice,
Anti.

I have moved your question to the "Ask Admission Consultants" forum. If you want to get your profile evaluated for a specific school go to that schools forum and post your request in the Profile evaluation topic.
