Hi! Your GMAT score is within the range for this school, but I do see that your years of work experience puts you outside the average student attending this school. According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek, the range of work experience for 80 percent of incoming students runs from 33 months to 122 months. Your 12 years of experience extends beyond that range. That being said, what will be key to your application is how you explain to the AdCom why this is the right time for you to get an MBA. Given your vast experience, why now?? What will you get from a business school education? What are your career goals? By answering those questions thoroughly, that can help your candidacy. Lastly, from what you wrote in here, it seems like you have limited extra-curricular activities. Remember that business schools look for well-rounded individuals, so if possible try to get more involved in community work and other interests.

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
