Hi,
I would like to know whether I have a good chance of getting into Berkeley/Haas or UCLA/Anderson part time MBA program. I took the GMAT twice.

1st Attempt -> 650 Q47, V34, AWA 4.5
2nd Attempt -> 680 Q47, V35, AWA 5.0

I thought I could actually score over 700 but I couldn't. I do not want to take the GMAT again. Here is my profile

Have a MS in Electrical Engineering degree from Univ. of Texas at Arlington, TX, GPA - 3.73; BS in EE from India with 3.8 GPA.
Working as a Power Systems Engineer
Worked for General Electric - 2.5 yrs, Another firm - 1 year, and now with Siemens (1+). Total Work Exp - 5 years by Dec 31 2008. So when I start my MBA program in fall '09 I will have 5+ years experience.

Job description: Perform technical studies, analyze results and communicate effectively to clients. Work on multiple projects at a time. At GE I was also leading cross functional teams in solving technical issues.

Does the fact that I changed 2 jobs (currently in my 3rd job) in the past 5 years have an affect on my admission?

I want to get my MBA from one of the top 10-15 reputed universities. Please let me know of any other top MBA programs where I would stand a good chance of getting admission (this list would help me if I decide to relocate).

some more info to add to my profile

Age: 27 yrs, Indian, Male

Extra Curricular: I do not know if this helps: Organized events such as College annual day etc, tutored math to high school and college level students,

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Dear tattva,

I think you have a competitive profile for the part time programs at UCLA and Berkeley. Your GMAT and GPA are in the middle or high end of the range, and you have a successful track record in your career. Be sure to highlight your managerial skills and client service in your resume and essays so you will position yourself towards business. Changing jobs does not hurt you as long as there is a good reason for the move--the new job is a promotion and/or broadens your skill set.

Good luck,
Lisa
