[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a minority female in my early 30s. I spent my 20s working in financial services. I wasn't too fond of the industry, so I applied to a few schools last year and didn't get in to any of them. These were schools ranked from 15-25. I have a low GPA and I don't test well at all(600 GMAT). I'm in a low level marketing position at the moment and definitely want to progress into management in my mid 30s. I really need an MBA to do so, but the only programs that I could get accepted to are ranked in the Top 50 or lower. I'm not sure that'll be worth it. However, the internship experience is worth it. I spoke with an admissions counselor for a couple of part time programs and I believe that I could get accepted. However, I won't be able to obtain an internship and I do not want to stay with my current employer. What should I Do? I've taken the GMAT twice. I could take a prep class, but I'm short on cash. Also time is of the essence due to my age.[/quote]

I do graduate admissions consulting.

Low GMAT and low GPA + Im guessing fairy transparent essays (not sensing a lot of introspection and passion).

How are your extracurriculars? Leadership at work? Career growth? Any recognizable names?

How low is the GPA? What was the GMAT breakdown?

Post MBA what's your goal industry, function and location? Ballpark what are your salary exepectations?

Did you get any interview invites last year from the programs?

Happy to give you real advice, but I'm a little low on details [/quote]
