Hello
I would like your opinion regarding my profil, if possible.
I'm a 35 yo from north africa and I've applied for a Fulbright Scholarship.
I'd 720 in GMAT (Q48 V42) and 110 in TOEFL (RL 30 S 23 W 27).
I'm a software engineer top of my class in 2008.
I've 12 years experience in various fields (Customs as an IT project manager and Our supreme audit institut as Magistrate/Auditor).
I've solid knowledge not only in IT but also finance, public finance and audit.
Do you think I've got a shot in an M7?

Hi medag,
Based on the little information you have provided, it seems that you check the academic criteria for the M7 with a solid GMAT score and graduating top of your class in a science major.
That said, my concern is with 12 years you have too much experience for the standard MBA program. While the average for the M7 is around 5 years, I have worked with successful applicants with a few more years than that. However, at 12 years, you are more than double the average. The schools' would have some few concerns including how well you will integrate with a class full of mostly 24-26 year olds, how open you are to new ideas given that you've worked for 12 years, and how much value you will get out of the program. My recommendation is for you to consider Executive MBA programs. There you will be among peers with comparable years of experience and level professionally.
Best of luck to you!
Cindy

Thank you very much for your answer
I'll try to address some of your concerns regarding my "long"/rich career and I'd like to get an additional feedback if possible.
In fact, studying in the US is not a traditional path in my country and only a handful exceptions got that chance. The Fulbright scholarship comes handy to help one get to this dream experience. In my first seven years of experience, I didn't have the possibility to apply since it was quite impossible to take a break from my previous job.
As an auditor in our Supreme Audit Institution (a highly selective institution), which is current experience, on the other hand, gave me both the opportunity and a clear carrier path afterward. In fact, this career switch needed a two year professional training where I worked with the same age range as the MBA's. It was a very rich experience and I got no problem to blend in.
EMBA doesn't provide, in my opinion, the same immersive experience as the traditional full time two years MBA. I hope that such MBA will provide me the required tools and skills to help in shaping my country's future (my current position allow me to emit recommandation that may change even the highest public policies).
Age and experience provide me with the wisdom to appreciate such opportunity and my interpersonal qualities allow me to blend in any environment.
Many thanks once again
