I scored GMAT 720 - V 41, Q 48 last year and applied to Kellogg and Ross, however; didn't get shortlisted. I have 6+ years of work experience as an IT professional, banking domain (big pie among applicants). Few mistakes that I introspected - I didn't put enough time researching colleges (didn't apply to enough colleges either), didn't go for any professional help and could have given GMAT again for a higher score to improve chance of admit/scholarship. I plan on having a strong profile for spring/fall 2017 (and save some more money) and am looking for pointers in the right direction. Can someone help evaluate my application?

the two thing you do not mention, and are very important, are your goal focus (and as part of that, "why school X") as well as your extra curricular and community service activities (which will help you stand out from other similarly strong candidates). If those are well developed, then make sure to apply in Round 1, and with good essays you should be in good shape. cheers, alex

"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."
