Dear Veritas,
Hello! If you can, please advise me on the strength of my MBA application, detailed below:
1. undergrad gpa (B.A. History): 3.1 (Cumulative) 3.4 (Major). (I did score almost all 4.0's my last year of college, you can see that there is a healthy upward incline in my grade performance)
2. Studied abroad one year in Scotland- for history. I thought this would at least make a unique point
3. Target school: UCLA
3. GMAT score: Have not taken yet, but have been scoring consistently around 700
4. Extra Curricular: help start a non-profit, several years of volunteer teaching in low-income areas, church volunteering.
5. Other mentionables: 3 years college and city club rugby.
6. working four years in project management in the tech industry. (3 promotions) hoping to use MBA to make career change into
Please let me know if you can advise me on my candidacy for UCLA's MBA program. Thank you!

Without a more fully formed post MBA vision, it's tough to say. Schools want to see maturity in the application, which is partly evidenced through a well defined plan for your future which includes how your past career and education will help you achieve it once you get the MBA. If you have a 700 GMAT and 4 years (at matriculation) of work experience, you should be in the ballpark for qualifications at Anderson, so I would encourage you to apply there with the appropriate amount of time placed into preparing your application. Let us know if we can help.
