这个很难说,还要看很多情况,比如你六年的工作经验都是什么,GMAT好像稍微低了一点,如果没有特别强的工作经历,似乎要吃点亏。毕竟top 10所要求的远远不止各项指标。
part time program也要看你所在的地点有没有。我建议你先考虑自己的需要,因为我觉得可以先作出full time和part time的选择。
Generally, the top 10 B-schools will take the people who show leadership and management potential. I am not familiar with senior software engineer. If you do have some experience show you are a good leader, for example, forming a team to develop big software and earn huge amount money for your company, organizing a group of people and making the whole group work more efficiently, these will help you stand out. But the GMAT is real the shortcoming of you application if you target on top 10 programs. My friend’s husband graduated from a top CS program in US and was a manager in Microsoft when he was admitted by Kellogg this year. His GMAT is more than 700. But he seems to get rejection from Wharton and Haas.
every applicant in big companies has the similar problem. So what you should show is whether you try to create more opportunities for youself, no matter you succeeded or not. That's initiative. The bschools understand the fact and want to see what opportunities are available to you, and how you have done to create more opportunities. For example, did you see any problems in the daily development process and thus provide solutions? Did you try to initiate a culture seminar to help the Chinese employees learn more about the American culture and so on? That's iniiative.
yeah, if you are at seniro leadership in fortune 50 or a senior consultant at Mickinsey, you don't have to worry about GMAT. but if you fall into the catergory like everyone else (which including me), top10 may not be that easy with 660.
But MBA's value has decreased significantly. I only can say it for this year. Business week has predicted that next year's MBA class will be even easier than this year. If you have time, get a better score, or just give it shot.
