My 2 cents would be to apply to your top 2-3 schools this year. You are young and will learn from each application submitted. So even if you go 0-for-3 this year, you have time to improve. I would also plan on taking the GMAT at your age 2 times. ADCOMs like to see an improvement when judging GMATs.

I would say Wharton, but that is my opinion. I would suggest visiting each of the top schools yourself.

Is there really an impression that an EMBA is somehow an MBA-light? Give us an example.
An EMBA at say, Kellogg, Columbia, Duke, or NYU.....would complete with which tiers of MBA schools? (with the assumption that the student is using either experience to change careers).

Bryant: Thanks for the reply. That is interesting to hear that EMBA applications are down 38% this year. Is there any indication whether that also applies to top-10 schools? or to Global EMBA's? Is there any sense of one area hurting more than others (such as particular regions, curricula, etc)?
