Sorry we have been quiet lately, but I am planning to answer any new questions, on behalf of Clear Admit. Either post them to this thread, or start a new one.

As way of introduction, I used to work for Clear Admit, a number of years ago; I am currently doing some consulting work for them. I also used to work in admissions at the Wharton School for several years, as well as the University of Delaware. I also taught classes for GMAC in their professional development program.

cheers, alex

I was hoping you could lend me your thoughts on realistic chances of my top schools to which I am applying: UT McCombs, SMU Cox, Rice Jones, TX A&M Mays, TX Tech Rawls, TCU Neeley.

A little bit about myself/application:
Female/Mexican-American ethnicity
Undergrad - BBA in International Business and Energy Commerce/ Minor in Spanish, Texas Tech
3.8/4.0 GPA Magna Cum Laude, Mortar Board top 50 seniors at university
President of my sorority; former Business Ambassador for the Rawls Business School; study abroad experience (6 months Spain/3 in Norway)
Proficient in Spanish (Upper Intermediate) - used professionally in prior position

Score - have not taken GRE yet (averaging about 157 both Q/V)

Work - 5 months working on Pres. John F Kennedy Commemorative Event in Dallas, followed by 1.5 years at an oil/gas software company (promoted during time to Senior Associate), given opportunity to move/work abroad remotely in Madrid, Spain as an external consultant with same company (procurement auditing) and attending Spanish school part time - [will have about 3 years post-bach experience by intake; 1 year of that in Spain]

Angle in Essays - seeking business development/strategy role in energy industry (particularly in Latin American/Mexican region); eventually becoming project manager long run

Thank you so much and appreciate any input you may have!

"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."
