Dear Guapa,

I think you have the profile for your target schools; however, your decisions will depend on how strong your applications are beyond the GMAT and GPA. If you haven't already, you should probably ask for feedback from Kellogg and Duke regarding your previous application so that you can directly address their concerns in your new applications. It is imperative you present a strong rationale for business school and can explain how your past experience plus the MBA make your future career goals realistic. Finally, you want to find a way to positively distinguish yourself from the many other Indian engineers with IT experience.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
