Hi there--

Am I understanding correctly that you have an Executive MBA?? If so, it could be quite challenging to apply for yet another MBA??

Hi Nipun

The first question which comes to my mind after taking a look at your profile synopsis is why would you want to do a full time MBA now after already having done an Executive MBA?

You really need to think this through clearly and come up with some very solid and concrete goals and post MBA work plans.

Also with the current score of 620 I think the schools you have mentioned would be very ambitious. I would urge you to retake your GMAT and come up with at least a 650 along with sorted goals and application strategy.

Good Luck!

Regards

"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."
