Need evaluation for a unique profile

[yoni]

Hello guys,

My profile is unique more in its personal column. Born in Eritrea (located in NE Africa). Won two merit scolarships in different times and graduated in IT. During this period, I had to overcome a couple of hurdles that included concentration camps deportations. I managed to get through these things also due to the involvement of International Human rights organizations. Ofcourse, I intend to expound in much more detail about this background in my actual application. I currently work with a local government in the US.

Work Exprience:

- 2 years as a Network Coordinator : leadership position
- 2 years as a Systems and Requirements Manager : dealt with Financial and systems qualtiy control issues
- Currently working as a Project Manager

Over the past years I've been trying to move more into the business aspects of the systems rather than the technical issues that I started with when I graduated. I want to do the MBA to enhance that particular aspect and really learn how raw capitalism operates.

I am a family man. So I can only do this part-time. I am planning to apply to Georgetown. My target GMAT is 720+. What are my chances and what do you suggest I work on to strengthen my profile as I am aiming for 2010?

I would truly value and appreciate any suggestions you could give me.

My GPA was 1st class which would translate to somewhere between
3.7 - 3.9

Dear Yoni,

I think if your GMAT score is over a 650, then you will be in a competitive position for the part-time program at Georgetown. Your GPA is strong and you appear to have good career progression. The important thing is presenting yourself effectively in your application with well-written essays, good recommendations and a strong interview.

Best of luck,
Lisa
