Hi all, can someone provide their perspective on my admission chances to the following part-time weekend programs:

1. Booth
2. Kellogg
3. Haas
4. Stern
5. Ross
6. Tepper

My profile is as follows:

Age: 27
UG Degrees/GPA: Chemical and Bimolecular Engineering; Biochemistry / 3.41 GPA
Grad Degrees/GPA: Chemical Engineering (Ph.D.) / 3.65
GMAT: Haven't taken yet (test date is 12/16), but I am testing between 650-700 consistently
Highlights: Extensive leadership and volunteer experience. In addition, I have published numerous papers that have served as the basis for a company that I now serve as CEO.

Any insight and/or suggestions would help tremendously.

Best,

Charles

From my experience, you are competitive for all of these programs as your GPA is a strength (given the difficulty of an Engineering degree) and your GMAT will be in-line with the average GMAT scores for these part-time programs.

However, where are you based because wouldn't that influence your choice? If your job is mobile and you can move to the area where the school is located, then you should proactively let the admissions committees know this.

Good luck,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
