Stacy, thanks so much for your insight. I've read your work here, and heard your thoughts on podcasts from MBApodcaster.com.
730 GMAT (82Q, 97V)
Albion College, Albion, Michigan. B.A. in English.
2.1 GPA--I was immature, this was 20 years ago.
Michigan State. Completed coursework for M.A. in journalism at Michigan State with a 3.55 GPA. I got a little more serious, but didn't have the money to to stick around and defend my thesis.
Since Michigan State, I've spent 18 years in journalism working for newspapers, magazines, Internet portals and a cable TV network as a writer, editor and producer.
I've been accepted into an EMBA program in Florida, but I might be taking a job in Connecticut, and I'm wondering if any of the prestigious schools up there are possibilities? I don't have much in the way of an extracurricular life, but I work 2-3 freelance jobs in addition to my regular newspaper job, and with a wife and kids, there's little time to do volunteer work. Also, will a top-notch school overlook that awful undergrad GPA and consider instead my grad-school GPA, GMAT score and work history?
