Edinburgh MBA News

Retiring military officer, coming from operations and strategic planner roles. Previous led teams of 80+ people, and looking to grow into a leadership role in a large company in the Pacific Northwest. Undergraduate in Arabic Language and Culture from lesser known school, and a Masters in Theology from Seminary (3.8 GPA in both programs). Will be a practice GRE and GMAT to see which is a better fit.

Questions I am considering:
Will it be better to go to an M7 program or a local MBA program if I want to find a position in Seattle?
Will the GRE or GMAT be a better fit for my application?
Should I be looking into EMBA programs instead, based on the average age of MBA programs?
Should a maintain a federal job while attending a hybrid MBA or EMBA program?

Throughout my time in the Army I steadily promoted and I have had a successful Financial Advising career with notable institutions and now currently with a startup firm. Average client I manage has a liquid asset of $1.5million. I am looking to change careers as I struggle with the monotony of the job, and I am always seeking new challenges. I know post MBA there will be plenty of challenging and exciting opportunities to tackle which will hopefully help me feel more fulfillment in my professional career.
