Hi,

I just gave my GMAT and (thankfully!) scored a good 760. My initial reaction is to apply for good programs closer to home i.e., India. I am a Chartered Accountant, have about 3 years of work experience after clearing my Accounting exams, and am looking to gain further exposure by stepping up the leadership ladder in the field of finance.

Do you recommend applying to ISB Hyderabad or INSEAD? I do know that these two universities tie up for the Doctoral program, and both have links to excellent North American universities.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Adya

Congrats on the great score! Without additional context, it's difficult to say, but yes these schools could be good options for you. Depends what you are looking for and what the rest of your profile looks like. Accountant backgrounds are difficult bc usually you are unable to demonstrate the teamwork and leadership experience since the role is very independent in nature... that will be your challenge based on what I see. Good luck!

"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."
