I've browsed the topics in the forums on this site for a little while and I have not happened upon anything that directly addresses my question. I see a lot of the handicapping articles discussing military officers' chances at getting into B-School, but nothing pertaining to the enlisted man. I will have served nine years enlisted in the Navy Nuclear Program (Submarines) and am finding myself worrying about the applicability of my work experience. So....if there is an expert on this forum with some insight into this particular situation, I'd greatly appreciate hearing what you have to say.

In general Military candidates do well. Even as an enlisted man you still a) served your country b) had many opportunities to act in your field c) probably have more interesting fellas than blokes that have spent their lives behind desks d) have add good opportunities to be a team player and leader (and if you don't need teammanship in a submarine, I don;t know WHERE you do!).

so all in all, you are starting off on the right foot.

Well that certainly gives me some small sense of relief. I am pretty thrilled to start this process as I transition out of the Navy. My GMAT is scheduled for 20 Feb., and I believe I am making progress toward 700+. I am pretty sure I will be applying to MBA @ UNC, but I may wait to apply to other schools for Fall 2013.

"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."
