Hi.

I'm 24 years old and have a 5 year degree in law from Nagpur university and 5 years of experience in Retailing as a store manager (Times of India Group-Times Retail).

My GMAT unofficial score is 600(i'm sure my AWA will be 5+ and my TOEFL will be 100+)

I have graduated in the top 1% of my university. (Infact I was placed 3rd from over 500 students of law). Could you please tell me what are my chances of being accepted in the Ohio State University for Fall 2008?

{{I'm applying to

Dear rjvallari.mirchi,

It is always hard to predict someone's chances when you do not have the entire application nor access to a school's applicant pool. Generally speaking, if you are at or above the school's GMAT and GPA averages, have strong recommendations, demonstrate career progression and effectively communicated the answers to the essay questions, then you should have a pretty good chance of being admitted. If you are not at the GMAT/GPA averages, then your chances diminish. I think Ohio State is quite a bit of a stretch for you but your chances at the other schools listed are better.

Good 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."
