Mr. Digi-Transformer

Hi Mr. Digi-Transformer,
It sounds like you have had an impressive career already! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. It’s impressive that you have grown revenue and profits at your family business, started your own business in the US, and even found time to do stand-up comedy! That said, your GMAT score is significantly below the Wharton average. If you find yourself hitting a ceiling with the GMAT, look into the GRE. The study material is similar, but some applicants find the GRE test format more suited to their test-taking style. Also, given that you have significantly more work experience than the average applicant to Wharton’s 2-year program, it will be even more important for you to articulate clearly what specific skillset or knowledge you are seeking at Wharton that will help you reach your future goals. In fact, you may even consider programs that are tailored more towards mid-career professionals, such as the MIT Sloan Fellows and the Stanford MSx programs. Also look into Kellogg’s 1-year Accelerated MBA program for applicants who already have a strong business background. My estimate of your odds at Wharton are based on your current GMAT but if you increase your GMAT score, your chances will also improve. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
