Navy SWO MBA help
Hey guys I am new here and need some MBA admission advice.
Background: I attended a top 30 engineering school for undergrad(Super non target business school). I graduated with a 3.4 GPA in Computer Science and decided I didn't want to code for 8 hours a day so I joined the Navy \r through the NUPOC program and became a Surface Warfare Officer. My service ends next July, 17 months, but I will be getting deployed soon for 4-6 months and I want to hit the ground running on my MBA applications for when I get back. I got a 720 on my GMAT. Not great, but not too bad. I am applying to Duke, UVA, Emory, Michigan, Kellogg, and 1 safe school. What do you think my chances are? My goal is to go into consulting post MBA. Do I fluff up and make something up on what I want to do with my MBA degree during application to stand out? Thanks for the help.
P.S. The cost isn't a big deal because I have a 100% GI Bill which means I have access to Yellow Ribbon Program to supplement the MBA cost.
SWO, Just curious, is NUPOC associated with a nuclear weapons program? My father was a Mustanger who was a nuke weapons officer for about 10 years, taught at the Citadel in Charleston, SC and got his MBA.
Does your real-world experience not give the recruiters additional material to work with considering your engineering degree and time in the service? The fact that you received your commissioning and had other men serving under you is invaluable experience that you cannot find elsewhere.
Understand not wanting to code for 8 hours. Have a EE degree along w/an AAS in engineering tech, but writing computer code was the bane of my existence. Worked in that field for a number of years before moving on.
I wish you well and thank you for your military service. I hope for a quick and painless deployment and a safe return home for you.
