Also, since your goals are in aviation some of the Seattle based MBA programs may give you a line into a company like Boeing so review their job repor...

I think you have a really nice background but given your GPA and GMAT are both below the averages at your target programs. I am glad you are retaking the GMAT because your work ex...

Just to add a few more points. I would start identifying and cultivating relationships with your recommenders.

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have some nice work experiences with a strong brand attached to it along with international roles, which should help diversify you a bit from your competitive application set.

Thanks for sharing your profile. I think you should be competitive at most of the schools listed. However, you are a bit of a younger candidate based on your limited work experience. I would make sure that you are clear that this is the right time for you to apply to b-school. Presenting yourself as...

I think the person is less important but the rationale for it is what really matters. Schools are looking for impact here so if your father truly fits the bill here then so be it.

Thanks for sharing your profile. If I am understanding your dilemma I think there could be some value add by taking on the new role. You are a strong candidate on paper even with the lower GPA score.

It's going to be tough sledding with most of the programs as GMAT scores have soared in recent years and are consistently around 720 now. it may be worth a re-take if you are dead set on applying to all of these schools. Otherwise focus on Darden/NYU for you best chance amongst your crop of schools
