Hello all. Would appreciate some collective advice on my business school prospects.
Here is my profile:
Background: 37-year old white male
Undergrad: 2.6 GPA at a top-20 liberal arts college. Major in Political Science. Played varsity tennis and had some small extracurricular roles.
Career: A very mixed, 15-year career from entertainment to corporate communications to non-profit. I have served some leadership roles recently in the non-profit space, including raising money. I have also spent a couple of years working directly for a very notable CEO and his foundation. Recently, I lost my job due to funding cuts (organization froze all spending, so we all lost our jobs).
Career Plans: Switch to venture capital
GMAT: 640, 41Q, 35V
Programs: Here are the full time MBA programs I am considering:
1.) Northwestern (Kellogg)
2.) Duke (Fuqua)
3.) New York University (Stern)
4.) Carnegie-Mellon University (Tepper)
5.) North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler)
6.) Southern Methodist University (Cox)
Let me know what you all think!
