Hello,

Thanks for sharing. You have a stellar GMAT score and decent undergrad grades. Professionally, I'm unclear on what you do. IT consulting? Development/engineer work? The entrepreneurial experience is good but if you have no results to show, won't go too far. Moreover, your current unemployment would be seen as a bit of an issue.

So... it's not an easy answer! I think I'd need to know more about your professional experience and what you are looking for in a program before I respond.

Thanks,
Mili
