Hi,
I need your opinion with respect to my profile. I m 35 years old and currently attending a small local part-time MBA program. After enrolling in the program, I realized that the student aren't that experienced and some of them came straight from college. It feels like I m not really learning something (besides the foundation, theoretical classes).
I m thinking to apply for couple or 3 Full time accelerated MBA programs like the one offered at Cornell (requires a Masters of Sc., which I already have), Kellogg. I have around 9 years of work experience: High tech firms, very diversified with some international experience. I speak fluently 4 different languages and a highly motivated person and geared towards achieving a MBA. My GMAT score is 720, both undergrad and grad GPAs are 3.3.
My questions are:
1- how is my age affecting my application? I m definitely not aiming for a career in i-banking but rather looking to climb up the ladder quickly either where I am (semiconductors) or biotech, pharmaceutical, etc...
I moved to the United States in my late twenties and it took me a while to get established in here. It wasn't easy but right now I m doing fine.
2- current score is 720 and horribly did on the first one I took without preparation (500), is this a negative thing towards my application?
3- I know It's up to me whether to disclose the fact that I m attending MBA classes in local school, but what if the school I m applying to will reject my application because I m enrolled currently in a MBA already? If I don't disclose it, what if they find out (isn't there a common Financial aid Database that all schools are looking at and my SSN will pop up as currently enrolled in a different program?) in case if I don't show it at my application.
Thanks
