Poets & Quants just shared a checklist for admissions from a longtime admissions director...I thought it was pretty helpful: https://poetsandquants.com/2016/05/30/in ... s-officer/ If you don't want to read the whole thing, basically boiled down to:
1. Can you handle the classes?
2. Are your career goals outlined will in application?
3. Can you communicate well?
4. Will you actually be able to lead other people (both before and after graduation)?
5. Did you make stuff up on your application (and/or are you likely to be an embarrassment to the program when you graduate)?
6. Will people want to work with you?
7. Are you going to be employable (which is sort of a combination of everything else on this list)?
8. Is there a specific reason you want to apply to any given school, or are you just sending applications everywhere?
Admittedly, I probably didn't articulate myself very well on point #8 the first time around, which might have been part of my problem-it's pretty easy to just create a "stock" application and then send it out.
I think this was a guest writer for John Byrne (whose stuff I love). Here's his book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1632990830/?tag=clam08-20 (it was good!).

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
