Dear bk136587,

Based on your post, you have the building blocks for a competitive application at any MBA program. The key is supporting those blocks with great essays and interviews. With regard to extracurriculars, it could be an issue, but it depends on what you mean by "mediocre"--whether that refers to your level of involvement or you lack of involvement. In terms of work experience, if you are currently at 3 years, then you will have 4 at matriculation, putting you right around the average. So, the quantity is not so much the issue--you need to show progression in your industry in terms of scope of responsibility. Finally, you are targeting programs with very large applicant pools, a large percentage of which will be from your industry; thus you need to find a way to distinguish yourself from similar applicants.

Best of luck,
Lisa

"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."
