Where do I apply

by hutch24242002 » Sat Apr 09, 2011 4:49 am
I am 27 years old, I took the GMAT cold, 600.

I work at a software company that makes financial services/payment processing software and applications. Been there a year, I have been "promoted" 3 times. Its a small company about 35 people. I worked in Banking/Financial Services for 3 years while in college FT in Frontline Positions: Teller/Customer Service.

I'm also an Finance Officer (O-2) in the Air National Guard(USAF)
Undergrad GPA 2.5 in Political Science and Economics, at a directional school in the Midwest. I attempted to be a chemistry major my first three years of college, I switched to a different major once I figured out pharmacy school wasn't my calling.

I am completing a Graduate Certficate in Supply Chain/Logistics at another Directional School(the B-school is AACSB accredited).

Should I study and retake the GMAT, and/or wait a few more years for work exp. I wish to really get into Supply Chain Management, possibly procurement. I wish to really get into State Schools B-Programs. Not concerned with the Private Schools because of money/undergrad GPA. My MBA is really more targeted to a career change.

Yes, you should take the GMAT again after studying. Why not reach your full potential?

Have you considered the MIT Sloan LGO program (https://lgo.mit.edu/)? It's best in-class focus on operations. (Including supply chain). PLUS, the program is almost free since companies sponsor the students. There is no obligation to work for a sponsor company, but they would sure like it :) If you know you want operations and you can get in, it's a dream opportunity. I know many people in the program and they are REALLY sharp cookies.
Like the advice? Remember to click the "thank" button. It's my only source of gratification :)
