Your work experience at a brokerage is definitely going to be a big plus for you. While your SATs are not bad at all, I’d consider taking the GSAE if you are comfortable with reading and writing exams. It wouldn’t hurt to raise that score! Also, if you’re undergrad GPA is not recent, it would really put you in a good position to take some classes, maybe a couple of semesters, at a local community college and get As. GPA is going to be pretty important. Really important.

Basically, it might be a good idea for you to hit up a community college and get some straight As for a little while. Maybe even one semester, just to demonstrate your capability of achieving academic excellence.

Would be helpful to hear more elaboration on your background.

Best of luck!
