Lately I've been seriously thinking about applying to b-school, but sometimes I feel like I'm not up to the standards that the schools I like have, so here is my profile and please be honest.
I'm Venezuelan, 30 years old, 2005 Major in Comp Sci (local school) with a terrible GPA (barely above minimun passing grade), i haven't taken the gmat
my experience
(1 and 1/2 years)project leader, IT infrastructure coordinator (for British American Tobacco)
(1 year)project leader, local Microsoft gold partner
(2 years)IT coordinator for a small IT Services company
I also have done some IT Consultant work for my local comunity public administration.
as to why I'd like to have the oportunity to do an MBA its basically because I want my desicions to have a greater impact in my work and in my comunity but when the time comes I'd like to have developed my skills as a manager so that I can be not only a leader but a good manager.
schools i'm interested: Columbia University, NYU, USC, Boston University

because i need the dynamics of a big city. BUT I've heard schools like Columbia and NYU are very finance, consulting, banking oriented when I'm really interested in coming bck to British American Tobacco or to another fast moving consumer goods company (Unilever, Nike, Coca Cola, Golden Arches etc.) so either Operations, general management and leadeship, marketing will be the focus of my MBA if/when I go back to school.
