Thank you in advance for your evaluation!
GMAT: 700 (90%), Q:47 (77%), V:39 (87%), AW:5.5 (77%)
Undergrad: B.S. Chemical Engineering, Top 25 (Public school). GPA: 2.93/4.00. 3.10 in final year. Math courses were Bs and Cs (Years 1&2) but engineering courses were all Bs or As (Years 3&4). I will address this in an additional essay. I am taking a Management Accounting (Cost Accounting) course currently through university extension (mainly for career benefit).
Work Experience: Currently a Six Sigma Black Belt at a blue chip company (Fortune 150). Led global supply chain development/improvement projects across multiple sites (UK, Singapore, US). Prior role was Engineer at same company. Promoted 2 times since starting - labeled as high potential employee. Will have 6 years work experience at start of B-school.
Extra-Circulars & Leadership: Cycling to raise money for diabetes research, Junior Achievement (teaching elementary grade students). Coached 15-20 Green Belts as part of Black Belt role.
Target Schools: UCLA Part-time (Round 1, Class of 2015), USC Part-time (Round 1, Class of 2015)
Male, 28 (at start), Asian (born in America)
Post business school goals: Global operations and supply chain management.
Question 1: Should I continue to take courses to build an alternate transcript or will the low GPA be mitigated by work experience and GMAT score?
Question 2: Chances for admission at target schools?
