What program are you using? You need to know exactly what area is costing you points and focus on reviewing that. Don’t think about everything. It’s probably a couple of areas bringing your score down.

Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective

Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
