- 3.6 GPA from a decent ug in history and comparative literature
- 735/805 on the new GMAT which equates to a 770/800 on the old version.
- on track to make $220k+ by EOY in a blue collar trade (figure includes OT, so not that great tbh)
not really sure if adcoms would just laugh at my profile or if i'd be seen as a quasi-URM type applicant, at least from a work perspective. also, the opportunity cost of leaving a decent paying job with a pretty secure future (datacenter buildouts) gives me pause, but i feel a case of burnout coming. MBA applications are down bigly, so i might be able to sneak into an M7. i wouldn't even bother applying to HWS btw, i'm not that delusional. what should i do in my situation? end goal would be to break into management consulting. eventually, i'd like to start my own construction company though.
i mean definitely not if youre trying to start your own company but if you want to shift to white collar work then i guess itd be something to consider
