I have heard that EMBA admissions are significantly higher than MBA admissions. I am an ACN Strategy Manager, which is higher than what I would come in as from a post-MBA role, but am 4 years out of undergrad. Not looking to take the GMAT..would Duke, Georgetown, UVA, Michigan, UNC EMBAs be a good shot?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but 4 years is far too little for EMBAs, even if your role is already post MBA level. EMBAs are typically 8+ years and often much more.

Precisely, and thanks for the reco, leaning that way.

Michigan, UVA Darden and UNC are all offering waivers for the GMAT/GRE - even for their full-time programs. While you are likely not 'seasoned' enough for an executive program, you could be a fit for a part-time program. Each school has different requirements/profiles.

Most of these schools will have a conversation with you about your profile.

You are young do a full-time mba. If part—time do Columbia or Booth.

Wait there is a way to skip the GMAT and get an MBA? Is this true for a lot of EMBA programs lol

And no - most people cannot get a 730 no matter how many times they try. 96th percentile.... I would say 4 percent can..

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings.

For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.
