Hello experts,
Would love to hear what you have to say about my chances in the above schools for part-time / EMBA programs. I am an Indian male, 31 years old, working as a Software Engineer in the US.
GMAT: 710 (47Q / 40V)
GRE (expired): 2130 (730Q/780A/620V)
GPA (undergrad): 70% (First class with distinction)
GPA (grad): 3.62/4.00 (Top 20 state school in the US)
I have both a bachelor's and a master's degree in computer engineering, and have over 7 years of work experience as a Software Engineer / Implementation specialist in the IT sector. I believe I have a balanced view of the IT world - both from a customer's perspective as well as from an engineering / product development perspective. I have published several research papers and have a pending patent application.
Leadership: Led several projects @ work. Mentored / managed several interns.
Extra-curricular: Habitat for humanity + Active member of a student run education initiative for the poor in India.
Hobbies: Music production (One song charted in the top 100 on indie charts)
Questions:
- Do you think my GMAT is competitive enough for the schools I've mentioned? My practice scores were in the 730 range, so I was a bit disappointed when I couldn't hit that mark. I think given a month's more prep, I can easily move to a 730 - 740. But it might be a bit late considering the deadlines.
- If travelling is not a problem, what other part-time / EMBA programs do you recommend?
- I have already heard back from a Duke's AdCom member that my profile is "very competitive" and that they highly encourage me to apply. Does this mean that I have a good shot at the other schools I've mentioned?
Thank you so much for your help!
