Dear imanolarbulu,

Your work experience in a new, rapidly evolving industry could be an asset to your application, as you will have interesting stories and a different perspective. However, that alone is not going to significantly affect your chances at these schools, either positively or negatively. Your GMAT, GPA and work experience appear to be competitive for your target schools. Thus it is now critical for you to use the resume, essays, recommendations and interview to solidify your compelling case for admission.

Good luck,
Lisa
