After working in non-engineering capacity, I want to go back to get a MS degree. What are the major factors that these schools look for in a successful applicant?


I graduated from a top 10 engineering UG with 3.9+ GPA.
I haven’t taken the GRE, but score 7XX on GMAT, and 15XX/1600 on (old) SAT. I expect 790-800 on GRE Math, 680+ on GRE Verbal.
I have been out of school for 4 years, so I do not think my professor remember that well. I’m currently going to a top 10 MBA program, would MBA prof recommendation count?
