GRE V:166 Q:162 (should I take the GMAT or are these tests given equal value? GMAT conversion places my score at a 700)

GRAD: MA in Religion (Ivy), MA Psychology (regional public, earned while serving full-time)


Work Experience: One year teaching high school, six years enlisted military (3-4 years in Special Operations, creating political, cultural, and communications products for foreign audiences)

Hey there dude,
So far so good.

To start with B-schools love vets. You have an MA at an Ivy, and a second one too, cause well, heck, why not?

Buuuuuut the big mega question is what did you DO during those six years?

No need to divulge military secrets, ;) but what was your highest rank? How many people did you lead? What were your greatest achievements?

Also, why MBA? and why now? What are your goals?

You have an exciting profile from what I can see here, but I'm gonna need more info from you if you would like a real evaluation.

Best,
JF
