Dear Osama,

Your GPA and work experience appear to be on target for those part-time programs. I would expect you need to score at least a 650, possibly higher, to be a competitive applicant. Of course, you will need to put together a strong overall package (essays, resume, interview, etc). I would also encourage you to visit the campuses and befriend the folks in the admissions office.

Good luck,
Lisa

Lisa,

Thanks for your input. If i got a good gmat 700+, i would go for Georgetown. I would be able to get strong recommendations from VP of my Dept. and Manager so it would all comes down. Usually two recommendations are enough but is it better to get 2nd recommendation letter from you professor? or two LOR from your employer would be sufficient?

Thanks again.

Dear Osama,

Schools prefer recommendations from the professional environment, so two from your current employer will be great.

Lisa
