thank you very much for taking the time to give me some feedback.
It is much appreciated.


I'm a 35 yr old white male, married 11 yrs. and have a 6 yr. old son.

gmat 730 q/47 v/44 took it yesterday.

attended u. of fla and fsu, graduating in 1997 with a b.s. in social sciences and a sorry 2.85 gpa.
taking business calculus and accounting this summer at local state u. to show new academic proficiency and commitment as part of application.

self employed for the last 9 years and still currently, as the founder and president of HVAC contracting business in northeast florida since 2000. (600k+) sales per yr. and 6 employees.

state licensed general building contractor

started a second business to augment the first...a "green building" contracting firm in 2005, to concentrate on energy retrofits for existing homes, (insulation, windows, ac, etc..)and attempt to build energy efficient homes. unfortunately there really isn't a market for those services in the city i live, and I had to put this on hold in 2007.

extras:
youth soccer coach
private pilot ( i fly a 1950 piper cub)
aviation blogger

my brother and one of my cousins are HBS grads classes of '01 and '05, and are encouraging me to apply to top schools. They seem to think that with my non traditional business experience and entrepreneurial skills, I could be an interesting candidate to an admissions committee.



Thanks again for your assistance.

Dear flyin'gator,

I agree that your professional background will be interesting to schools and you certainly have a competitive GMAT score for top 20 programs. I think the main concern schools will have on you will be your rationale for going to business school, specifically a full-time program. You are not too experienced to benefit from a full-time program, but there is definitely evidence to suggest that candidates with over 10 years experience do not find a full-time program meets their expectations as much as an executive program does. Since you desire to make a career change, then a full-time program is certainly the most appropriate. I just want you to think about your rationale and make sure you effectively convey it in your applications.

Best of luck,
Lisa
