Hi VP Member,

First of all I want to thank you for helping all the MBA aspirants. I have already learnt so much from the forum.

Here is my profile to introduce myself:

Total years of full-time career experience: 7

Current industry/field of employment: Software Development

Current title, function and duties: Lead Developer. Leader of a team of 5 developers.

Advanced Degree: MS Computer Science, University of Denver, Denver, CO USA (3.87 GPA)

Undergrad Degree: BE/BS Computer Science , India (75%)

GMAT: 750 (Verbal 40, Quantitative 51, AWA 5.0)

Extra Curricular: Decent

Schools interested in: Harvard, Wharton, Chicago, London Business School, Insead for FALL 2010

Age by FALL 2010: 33

Questions:
1. Do you think the choice of schools is right?

2. Am I too old for such good universities?

3. GPA for undergrad - I looked at services like World Evaluation Services but they seem to have a generic way of evaluating your GPA. Whereas GPA is always relative. 75% might evaluate to something around 3 GPA but it means a lot more if the topper of the class had 78% (which is true in my case).
Also how much value does my undergrad GPA holds after my Masters?

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for your comments. We are happy these boards are helpful. Now, to answer your questions:
1. You have chosen top MBA programs and should realize that competition is increasingly stiff for these programs. However, it is difficult to comment on whether you have chosen the right programs without knowing your future goals. You should be able to compete in these applicant pools if you submit a well written application, conduct a strong interview, and differentiate yourself from other applicants.

2. You are not too old however you should be able to explain why you have chosen to pursue an MBA at this point in your life.

3. You should provide an explanation on how your undergrad GPA should be interpreted (similar to what you wrote in your question). Your graduate GPA will also be considered. Admissions comm. just want to see that you will be able to handle the academic workload associated with a top MBA program.

Is part-time a better option for me?

by futureMBA » Tue May 19, 2009 9:34 am
Do you think part-time MBA from a reputed university (Kellogg, Booth, Stern, Haas) is a better option for a person with my profile?

Given the economic conditions, I think leaving one's job might not be a wise thing to do. So I wanted to explore part-time and executive MBA programs. What are your views on these programs as opposed to full-time MBA? How do they compare to full-time in terms of value and post MBA career? Is it easier to get into them than full-time?

Do they have separate career centers for different programs?
