Rasec, is there a way to contact GW? Can't seem to find him in the forum though.

Thanks mansoor. IMO though, that's very specific for EMBA AND LBS... Most american schools for a full time normal MBA do care about the whole thing: GPA, GMAT, CFA, Work Exp, Essays, Recommendations, every piece of the puzzle...

Does it really matter if it is an EMBA or MBA?

Yeah. a LOT. The class profile is totally different, thus what they (admissions) are looking for is different as well!

Your first mistake was talking to people at UCLA.
