I graduated from a large, Catholic, private school with a GPA of 3.43 in Accounting. I have passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam, and I have about a year of experience in a big 4 public accounting firm. I haven't taken the GMAT yet, but plan to do so in mid November. Hoping to score 650+. Am I a competitive candidate for a PhD program in business/accounting, or I am just dreaming?

Hi Philly i share the same vision as you and keen on responses on this.I wish we didnt have to take the GMAT for a PHD.
What area are you looking to apply in for the PHD? Im looking at a PHD in business Management Specialisation.

I think it's going to depend on your GMAT score, the rest of your application looks great.

"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."
