Hi Sid,
Can you tell us more about your background - particularly your work experience and post-MBA interests. Would you consider retaking the GMAT test? I am assuming you are an applicant from India. If so, unfortunately that applicant pool is ultra competitive and therefore you might need a higher GMAT score to qualify for a good (but not top tier) school. Also, would you consider a part-time program?

Regards,

NP

Siddarth,

I think another important question you need to ask yourself is why you want an MBA. Are you interested in Marketing, Finance, Management, or a general overview? Different programs have different strengths, and you should find the one that best suits your background and goals.

I actually used the US News and World Report rankings to figure out where I wanted to apply. Babson was #1 in entrepreneurship, and Wharton was #2, so I applied to those schools. The magazine will also give you breakdowns of average GMAT and average undergraduate GPA for admitted students, so it will let you know where your application will be competitive.

Best wishes,

Tatiana

"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."
