Hi All,

This is a very stupid/noob question. I have gained a lot of insight in relation to preparation for the GMAT and all the aspects of the exam from various articles and forums on this web site.

I understand that there are similar posts for the MBA application process. But since finishing the GMAT, I have been quite blind to the planning and preparation required for MBA applications. I was expecting something similar in line with GMAT preparation de-briefs.

Can someone point me to a series of articles that run through step-by-step, how to go about researching, planning and applying for MBAs at various B-schools (importantly, how other students have approached the process)? This may already exist on Beat The Gmat, but I would love to be pointed to a structured categorization of the thousands of posts/articles on this website.. if such a thing exists.

Cheers.

"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."
