Hello Guys

Thought of seeking a bit of help through the forum.

I have a GMAT score of 640(really low), 6 years WorkExp in IT, EU candidate.
Post MBA goal - Management Consulting.

I have applied to ESADE for Sept 2011. Met the AdCom director in Zurich and he seemed quite interested in my profile. Any idea on what chances do I stand and what is the usual time period after 2nd round by which I should expect an interview call(if at all)?

Applied to RSM, Netherlands for Jan 2012, they told me that I will be notified sometime in Jan next year. Also, if you guys have any past experience with this school about the selection process, please let me know, considering my profile mentioned above.

Thanks a lot guys and Happy holidays.

Regards,
Swagata Dhar

Hey,

I can only comment on ESADE.
I applied in Round 1, received an interview invitation approx. 2 weeks after. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, I personally spoke a lot to Franziska (responsible for DACH region, I think).

Good luck with the application

"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."
