The first article I wrote about what to do (or whether you should apply) with a low GPA generated a lot more questions and many readers of this forum requested more detail on what to do if you have a low GPA. I wrote this second article to address some of these issues. https://www.thefirstread.com/accepted-to ... ase-study/

Hope that's helpful,

Thanks for the post, even though it's anecdotal, it makes me feel a lot better about my 2.84 and 730 combo...

"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."
