Hi All,
I know your time is valuable so any help will be greatly appreciated. I will try to keep it short.
Age: 37
National Origin: Bangladesh
Bachelor G.P.A (Poli Sci): 2.4 (2nd tier Liberal Arts College) - Year - 1995
M.H.A (health admin) G.P.A: 3.9 - Year - 2000
GMAT Score: 700 - Year - 2010
Current Job: Vice President for Operations at a 400 Bed hospital (part of a 15 facility hospital system)
I have 12 years of working experience in the health care industry with roles of increasing responsibility. After my disastorous undergrad performance worked a few odd jobs while taking non-degree seeking courses at the Master's level in a 2nd tier public university. Eventually convinced the professors to take a chance on me and the rest as they say is history. Excelled in the Masters program (graduated from it in 00') and got selected for a prestigious fellowship. Upon completion was offered a job in the same company and have excelled in the health managment track since then. Have lots of extracurriculars like volunteering, teaching Master level courses, community service etc.
Given all this what are my chances for a top MBA program ? The obvious concern I have is my undergrad G.P.A. Not that it is any sort of an excuse but I suffered from extreme depresson and bi-polar disorder in my early 20s. All the medical conditions are documented and in my opinion were the causes for my undergraduate G.P.A. I have recovered from the nightmare and have had no relapses for the last ten years now (also documented)
Any advise would be GREATLY appreciat !!
Thank You,
