Hi Mr. Jailhouse Minister
Krista from mbaMission here. Thanks for posting!
You certainly have lived a very full and rich life. Your overall profile is super-interesting. That being said, there are two factors here that make it very difficult to gauge your chances. One is the lack of a GRE score, although with Darden as your top choice, a GRE waiver is possible. However, it’s unclear to me if you are targeting full-time or Executive programs. At your age, my assumption is EMBA programs but you don’t specifically say that. It will be very difficult to get into the FT program at Darden with your level of experience. It’s not that you can’t learn…it’s more that the program will wonder if there’s anything else they can …

It’s not that you can’t learn…it’s more that the program will wonder if there’s anything else they can teach you based on your level of experience. They have jobs targeted to people much more junior to you. I would encourage you to look at EMBA programs as well as MIT’s Sloan Fellows Program, which are geared at people with your level of experience.
I hope that helps,
Krista
