Hey guys,
I recently decided to go back to school and finish my undergrad because I realized that no matter how much money I was making pre-recession ($80k) I do not feel that I can make that given the current climate without an MBA. I also want to get out of retail and into the "professional" world. I want to apply during R1 to a good PT program (relocate if necessary). I really want to get into consulting / management (upper) / finance ... I know, very unique... I will be graduating June 2011 but do not want to wait until R1 in 2011 because I truly feel it is a waste of a year (+1 1 year because I will be PT). Will top schools accept my application and approve me conditionally? I.e. according to UCLA's website, as long as I complete my BA prior to Fall of 2011 I am good. Here are my stats:
Male 29
Undergrad GPA 3.8
UC Riverside
I will retake GMAT on September 17th, fir try I received a 580 Q45/V25. I totally underestimated the verbal section. Didn't study at all. Started to study verbal recently and I am consistently getting between 620-660 scores on practice tests. Hoping to get 660-700 prior to September 17th (I think it is a realistic goal).
Working 11 Years FT (9 in management)
I have been looking at the top PT programs of the top 30 FT B schools...
Any suggestions? Let me know if you want more info...

"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."
