There is nothing here that makes me think you could not be successful. The auto experience is not uncommon for Michigan so you will have to work to differentiate yourself. You also could be a bit light on experience for some of the part time/executive programs so maturity and proving that you are focused and ready will be key. You WILL want to beef up the outside leadership activities. Not as importnat for a part time program, but still valuable.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
