I am confident that you could be successful applying to a top 25 school. Which schools you apply to should depend on your goals - why are you going back to school? What type of culture, size, geographic location are you looking for? In terms of your "chances" - while there is nothing wrong with the profile you have submitted here, there is little that differentiates you. You need to think about your goals, interests and what unique qualities you have to contribute to a program. The more you can come up with along those lines, the more success you will have with the more highly ranked programs.

"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."
