I'd appreciate any advice on getting admission into Kelley School of business online MBA program? My profile is as below.
GMAT = 600
MS (Manufacturing Mgmt)
Experience = over 10 years in technology, consulting, and retail sector.

What are some of the areas that I need to focus on?

thanks.

Dear aaa75@hotmail.com,

I'm not sure what you are asking for in your post. Could you be more specific? You have enough experience and your GMAT is probably in range, although on the low side, for the program. I don't know enough about your profile to comment further on your chances.

Regards,
Lisa

I want to know what are my chances of getting admission into Kelley school's online MBA program. My GMAT score is low (Q=48 but low score on verbal) but it's within their 80% range (as published on Kelley's website).
Will my strong work experience (some of which is in a Manager position) help me compensate for the low GMAT score?
Also, do they consider undergrad GPA or grad GPA (since I already have a MS degree)?

Thanks.

As with any MBA program, the evaluation of applicants for admission to the Kelley online program will be holistic. Consequently, your work experience and GPA can make up for a GMAT score below average. Both your undergraduate academic record and master's academic record will be considered in your evaluation. The GPA that will be used for reporting purposes is your undergraduate GPA. You have a chance at admission for this program, so use the components in your control to make a compelling case for your admission over the competition. In other words, use the essays, recommendations, and interview to your advantage.

Good luck,
Lisa
