Hi,

I am about to start my application procedure.
My counsllor told me that I should choose either Mays or Mccombs but not both.
I am not much convinced with the reasoning provided by her.
Please advise
1) which one is better? 2) my realistic chances of getting into these schools 3) chances of getting scholarships in these schools

My brief profile : 24/Indian female/700/B.tech (chemical)-62%/avg extra curricular
I want to come back to India after completing my MBA.

Thanks!
Prachi

hmmm...I'm with you on that one. Often students apply to several schools within a state or region, especially if that region ties into their post MBA plans. If you plan to return to India, I guess that rules out this reason, but there may be other reasons you have such as similar concentration or culture. I don't see why you wouldn't just apply to both if they both seem to fit your target profile for schools. Tough to say which will give you a better chance, which is perhaps another reason to go for both...if one just happens to need more female students or more international students, and one doesn't, you won't have taken the risk of choosing which one in advance. if you have the time, i would go for both.

"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."
