Profile Evaluation

by alexander75 » Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:32 am
I was interested in:
1) Haas ewmba
2) UCLA femba
3) Booth weekend
4) Kellogg weekend
in that order
Could you please evaluate my profile, I am in a huge dilemma debating between retaking my GMAT (not so confident about making a huge increase) Vs spending time to prepare for apps.
-GMAT 2nd attempt 650 (Q45/V34), 1st attempt 620 (Q47/V28)
-Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience (Indian male IT professional in the bay area)
-B.E. Computer Science (about 68% aggregate from an Indian University)
-Extra curricular: Toastmasters for about 2 years- Been Secretary and VP Education,
conducted speech contests and organized a lot of meetings.
-Been helping a friend in his potential start-up in terms of software development/ideas during spare time.
-Lots of start-up experience (7 years) starting from the ground up but as an engineer(5 start-ups in 5 years at one time)
-Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience as a Lead/Senior Engineer.
-Influenced senior management/VP in companies I worked for.
-2nd Engineer of a branch of a bay area company started in India -involved in ground-up work.
-Community experience- helped organize meetings and actively volunteered against an apartment management for better facilities. This eventually led to a lawsuit. Also volunteered in temples.

Hi Alexander75, and thanks for your post.
I'd want to know more about how much you think you can increase your score the next time you take the test considering the time constraints related to the application process, your work, etc. EMBA programs are usually geared towards older students with more work experience, but your GMAT may still be a factor for many programs.

Best,
