I have received some emails from a top MBA program saying that "I would fit in really well", " I would make a great addition", and "you stand out"....Are these for real or just marketing schemes to get me to apply / pay the application fee?

My GMAT score is well below their average (I plan on taking it again, but was surprised to get an email from this school) but the emails have made me question if I should go ahead and apply.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Yes, unfortunately those are largely marketing emails. Schools often buy email lists from places like GMAC that has your contact info and results on the GMAT, so they go after people they truly believe will be a good fit at the school. And maybe you would still be a good fit at the school. But it's important to cut through the marketing speak and figure out where you will be happiest and get the best education for your investment.

"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."
