Business School @31 - two years away game plan

Hi Guys,

Profile Did not take GMATs GPA: 3.0 School: Good State School on East Coast (New Jersey) Major: Economics Internship experience in school: F500

Out of college I worked in RE Acquisitions (12 months), Fintech Biz Dev (2.5 years) then ECM/IR for 4 months (fired) before embarking on a 4 year long passion project that was government advisory related. At 29 I just completed a summer associate position and am mulling over 3 potential offers for a January job start.

Recommendations will come from then Equity Research investor Relations gig even though it was 4 months. The co-founder will appreciate me taking the plunge after getting canned and will play up being out of workforce for 4 years. It's not like i was Army OCS - but it is in cyber-security with a red team penetration test type ordeal and has a Crossfire Hurricane angle.

How do I make it to my target list of 1 year MBA programs while also swing for fences like Wharton? Keep in mind the gov advisory gig won't get publicity because of security clearance issues.
