Notes:

Should I retake GMAT? My last 3 official practice tests were 770-780 all with 50/51Q, but that was 3 years ago, would have to relearn. I took twice, and one didn't do well on Verbal, the other not so well on Quant (49Q/41V, then 46Q/45V)

Big fan of the podcast. First generation college grad. I can explain that my GPA has a clear downward trend because I was working 1 or 2 jobs at all times to pay for my schooling, and significant on campus involvement. These include club leadership positions, started a now-leading fraternity on campus. Joined the military, many achievements and awards, promoted first time every time. No big leadership positions but I lead small teams in fixing aircraft in high pressure situations. Many interesting stories to tell. Want to get an MBA and work for a startup in the emerging field of all electric airplanes to reduce carbon footprint.
