Hello,
Looking to get a profile evaluation for applications in the 2019-2020 cycle:
My target schools are below. What do you think are realistic expectations? Do you think my work experience and college GPA will hold me back?
Looking to get a profile evaluation for applications in the 2019-2020 cycle:
- 30 year-old female, Southeast Asian.
- Spent early childhood in a poor Southeast Asian country (Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.), but now am a US citizen.
- GMAT 730 - I haven't taken it yet, but my practice tests are all in that range
- 3.3 GPA - Finance/accounting major from well known state school that has a top accounting program (think UIUC, UT Austin, UW-Madison, etc.). Master's degree from the same place
- 9 years of work experience in various roles ranging from 1-3 years each, first in the the midwest and and most recently in Silicon Valley where I live now
- Most recently moved to the Bay Area where I worked as the lead / sole accountant at a startup. Built a lot of processes from scratch that didn't exist before I was there
My target schools are below. What do you think are realistic expectations? Do you think my work experience and college GPA will hold me back?

With 9 years of experience (which translates to 10 once you start school) it's going to be really tough to get into a full-time MBA program unfortunately. (And schools like HBS & Stanford are honestly just way too aggressive anyway given your GPA & work experience). Full time programs are typically looking for applicants with 3-5 years of experience upon matriculation. That said, you are a perfect candidate for part-time programs --- and those are also easier to get into than their full-time counterparts (and you get access to the same professors, alumni network, etc!) Since you are in the Bay Area I'd consider Haas for sure. You could also consider the Wharton EMBA, which has an SF location. Average years of work experience for their applicants is 11 so you will just be a year shy of that if you were to start next year. If you're able to work remotely, you could also consider the part-time programs at schools outside of the Bay Area, such as Booth, Kellogg, & UCLA.
