Hi,
I am an Engineer living in Silicon Valley, CA (moved here 6 months aqo working for a top chip manufacturer). I am originally from Chicago. I have been working for the past 6 years and have a background in Engineering, Quality and Manufacturing. I have a masters degree in Industrial Engineering and a six sigma black belt. I am at the stage in life, that I feel in order to diversify my skills and step up to the next level, I need to get an MBA. My goals are to grow in my field and eventually become a General Manager, or get into Management Consulting with a focus on Marketing and Strategy.
The problem is the GMAT. As someone who regularly works 11 to 12 hrs every day, I find it really hard to find time to study. This has reflected on my scores. I have already written the GMAT twice. I scored 500 the first time and 570 the second. I am confused about whether I need to write it again, but feel that its necessary for the schools that I am targetting.
My dream schools are Kellogg, Booth, Berkeley and UCLA.
Would be good to connect with others who are in the same boat as me and maybe hear some advice. Thanks.
I am strong in extra curriculars, I write for a political blog, have a self published book of poetry and am an avid photographer.
