BE-Civil engg(3.0gpa) ME-str engg(3.5 gpa). my profile is pretty weird as moved to IT post engineering as the Engg opp weren't that interesting.i have a gap of 1.5 years on my resume (baby mid 2012-current)I am planning to join back but first I want to get a good score in gmat.

Well, a 700+ would be nice, and would make things possible. Anything less than a 680 will make things hard to impossible for those schools (they have more than their pick of folks with amazing scores), so that score is all-important for you. As to your chances in regards to your profile, it's a wee bit hard to tell cause I'm missing a whooooole bunch of info from you...

But I think first thing's first - go ahead and beat that GMAT! (shameless plug for this website

)

Well, lots of things!

For your work experience: Have you any leadership? What are your greatest achievements? How many promotions have you had? How have you done in reviews?

then: Any volunteer experience? How do your extra currics look? Where did you go to school? Any notable awards??

That would be a good start

Best,
JF

"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."
