Hello everyone,
I've assessed my career goals and come to the conclusion that an EMBA would be a great option for me professionally and it would allow me to work full time to support my family.
Here's my profile, which I realize maybe a bit non-standard:
Age: 32
UGrad GPA: 2.83 (STEM Degree Top 25 Public Research University)
Grad GPA: 3.71 (Social Science Degree Ivy League School)
GMAT: 700
Work Experience:
- 2 years English Language Teacher abroad in Asia and Europe (wanted to travel after undergrad; after this trip went to grad school
- 2 years in masters program
- Summer associate at boutique consultancy
- 1 year think tank in DC (first job out of grad school, pay was INCREDIBLY low so I left for;
- 3 years Management Consultant at Top 5 Firm left for a tech startup
- 2 years VP at tech startup
What do people think about my candidacy? Also, has it been anyone's experience that EMBA programs provide scholarships? I'd be interested in hearing (and this could be beneficial for the larger community) any discussion around scholarships at the EMBA programs. Thanks a bunch for your time!

Thanks for sharing your profile, the key thing admissions at EMBA programs are looking for is management experience and a strong track record of leadership. Just looking at your profile at a glance at most it seems you have maybe 2-3 years of management experience. Another way this can be also reflected is your age, you are 32, if you look at avg ages of top EMBA programs they are all >36 years of age which should signal they want experienced candidates. I would say top 15 at this point may be challenging for you. You are actually closer in age and work experience to traditional FT MBAs.

Thanks, I think that's fair and appreciate your assessment. Does anyone know anything about scholarships at these programs? I know the FTMBA programs offer quite a bit of money. Is this common at the executive programs? Assuming I'm able to put together an attractive profile and gain acceptance to a few good programs, I'd like to at least think I could play offers off of each other for some level of scholarship/fellowship funding. Is this a reasonable expectation?
