Your numbers are spectacular, and certainly someone running a business with 2K employees would be unusual in the applicant pool. You may need to convince the adcom why you need an MBA given your successes to date.

Academio, you are impressive. I think those two sentences sums it up for me. I would think you would be an automatic entry. My girlfriend recently graduated from Harvard Business and she was intelligent but you are a whole new level.

Good luck!

Hello Academio,
You do have a great background and I dont expect you to have any issue with your application. However, I would advise that you convince yourself on the reason why you need an MBA. This will reflect in your business school application essay.

I believe there is always a way the adcom gets to know if you truly need an MBA. So, start the application process now. Meanwhile, you may need to bookmark www.mbaxploit.com (http://www.mbaxploit.com). I use the website to share my business school application experience.
