Graduated from Rutgers-New Brunswick undergrad with an overall 3.2 GPA with a 3.7 major GPA in Political Science, minor in economics. Transferred a few times before in undergrad, overall not great grades (failed a few classes one semester), but straight A's the last year of school. I went on to get my Masters in Accounting at Rutgers with a 3.85 GPA.
After getting my undergrad and masters I joined the Air Force as an Officer. At 31 I left the Air Force as a Captain. I fell in love with management and wanted to get an MBA and work in the business world. I took the GMAT and got a 720.
Besides my GMAT and GPA's I want my application to give a school's admissions board a better understanding of who they might be accepting. Without getting into much personal details here I was diagnosed learning and speech disabled at a young age and declassified myself. In addition during my undergraduate years I came out to my deeply religious family which I'd hope explain some of those not-so-great grades during undergrad. Overall I'd want to express to an admissions board that the trajectory of my academic and personal accomplishments and my managerial skills show an applicant prepared for their MBA program, and capable of growing as a person. I also taught myself Spanish and Polish fluently, if that means anything, and have great letters of recommendation from military colleagues and superiors, and grad school Professors.
The schools I'd want to attend, from order of preference:
Harvard, Cambridge, Columbia, University of Chicago, NYU, Northwestern.
I also have a letter of recommendation from a Stern (NYU) Alumni. Please tell me what you think, be critical. I'm willing to work with professional admissions counselors, whatever it takes.
