So I am sitting here thinking about my fraternity days and shaking my head ....
Oh well (sigh) .. will just spit it out. What do you guys think, which schools do I have a reasonable chance at given my not so stellar GPA.
So here is my quick profile
Age: 34
Work Experience after grad school: 6 yrs
Undergrad G.P.A: A Mind blowing 2.2
Grad GPA: 3.95
GMAT: 710
Background: US citizen (Indo/Pak Ancestry)
I don't know what I was doing in my undergrad, no excuses really, was a bum back then. Begged and clawed my way into a state school for a 2 years Masters (M.P.A). Have had a good steady job since then, been promoted twice (Director level now).
All said and done, I am not satisfied with where I am. I work in the public health sector but really want to to move into the pharmaceutical and/or health insurance industry. Talked with a few executives in Glaxo/Eli Lilly/Cigna etc and all suggested getting an MBA from a top 10 school.
Do I have a realistic chance at any top 10 school ? If not then just be brutal and say so as (I would appreciate that) as have no one else to blame but myself.
Thanks for taking the time to help.
