Hi all - I was accepted into both Ross and Darden and would love to hear your expert thoughts on which to attend. Post-MBA goal is to go into CPG marketing. Ross has an edge in placement in this area, but Darden's case method may better prepare me down the road. Most other factors are a toss up: great people, great towns, great facilities. What do you all think?

Go for University of Virginia - Darden school of Business either Blacksburg or Charlottesville campus. Virginia is a fantastic place to live but if you know how to live. The weather, the people and the cities all are awesome but you are dependent on public transportation then you would not enjoy as much as if you drive.

I'm assuming OP has already decided on his/her school of choice at this point, but fyi, Darden School of Business is part of the University of Virginia located in Charlottesville. There is NO Blacksburg campus; what you are thinking of is Virginia Tech that's located there.

"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."
