Executive MBA Profile Evaluation

by jeffboshine » Wed Apr 04, 2012 4:50 am
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to get your input on my candidacy for a top executive MBA program (Wharton, Kellog, etc.).
1- GMAT 720 (47Q, 41V)
2- GPA 3.2
3- Years of Experience: 11
4- Undergrad Degree: Engineering from a US school
5- Fluent in Three Languages
6- Spent Childhood Overseas, Currently live in the Midwest.
7- Started as an engineer with current company, then promoted to project manager, then portfolio manager, then general manager of an office of 20 (still manage the portfolio along with office)
8- Company is willing to sponsor me fully.
9- Managed a project in Europe.
10- Currently in the process of opening an office in the ME.
Am I a strong candidate?
Do I need to work on anything?
Are there any resources for executive management admission help? Books, Articles, etc? I can't seem to find much, everything is geared towards typical MBA.

With a 720 and full company support (especially if it's a large/famous brand) is a very good start for an EMBA. I would say you are a pretty strong candidate, although a lot will depend on your LEADERSHIP, which you haven't written about here.

As for materials: Do you mean materials to research programs? or regarding admissions? If it's regarding admissions, you can look at most resources for a regular MBA, the principles are all mostly the same. IF it's research, there are many resources, not least of which are the ranking sites. You also have a few books on the market regarding these programs, and here is one I like:
