Hi there,
I would like to have my profile evaluated for some EMBA programs.
My profile:
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Nationality: Brazilian
Current residence: Brazil
GMAT: 690 (Q40, V45), 680 (Q41, V42) - botched quant twice.
GRE: 750 (Q 82% percentile, V 95% percentile)
Academic: Associate's in IT Management from a Brazilian University (GPA 3.3), Bachelor's in IT from UMass Lowell (3.9, Summa Cum Laude)
Work experience: 10 years, being 5 as a software engineer at large companies plus two startups, 4 as a half Sr. Technical Consultant and half Technical Manager (no P&L responsibility), 6 months as a Sr. Manager, part of a large mobile phone maker's management team in Brazil - with some P&L responsibilities, leading large R&D projects with a total of 70 people. During my career I have been classified as star performer and promoted many times, so I can show clear career progress in my CV and essays.
Languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish
International Experience: Lived in the US for 3 years, working at the Silicon Valley, traveled around the world giving tech/product presentations.
I am looking for some options for an EMBA degree, namely:
London Business School
IESE
IE
MIT (EMBA degree)
Chicago Booth
My main questions would be:
1) I seem to be in that tenuous line between too old for traditional full time MBA and too young for an EMBA (MIT's average age is 47 for example). Which type of MBA would you recommend based on my experience and age? Full-time or Executive?
2) Very concerned about that quant score on the GMAT. I know math (good score on the GRE to prove it), but I don't think I have enough quant courses (especially Calculus) on my academic background to forgive for a low score on the GMAT. Should I retake or take a Calculus course and get an A on it?
Thank you and best regards,
Daniel
