Age: 32
Gender: Male
Nationality: United States
Education: The Ohio State University, BA - English, 2.5 Undergraduate GPA... the result of a lot of major-hopping.
GMAT Score: 730 (50Q, 39V, 6.0 Writing)
Work Experience: 8 Years in Performance Development Roles (ranging from instructional design to project and team management positions). Most recently, 3 years as Project Manager in charge of large-scale curriculum and change management initiatives for a large regional bank. Prior to that, 2 years leading a team of instructional designers for a large national bank. In each position I have worked, I have received nothing but the highest review marks. I also interned for 4 summers during college for Ernst & Young LLP's Learning and Development organization.
Extracurricular: Volunteering for United Way through employer, eLearning Guild member, eLearning Guild Conference Presenter, Learning Consortium Member, and various personal pursuits (sports, reading, etc.).
Applying:
OSU Fisher School of Business - Full-Time (applying by March for Autumn 2010 start)
OSU Fisher School of Business - Part-Time, Working Professional (applying by February for Spring 2010 start)
A few questions:
What are my chances for acceptance?
Should I ask for references from different companies? Or, are admission boards more concerned with people you have most recently worked with or are currently working with?
Should I focus on my pursuits in Performance Development (as something unique I would bring to the program - even if I want to focus on Strategy and Consulting for my MBA)?
Thank you in advance for the help!
