Hi,

Great to see your post - I am from a nonprofit background, applied to business school in 2009/2010 and got accepted to Tuck, Columbia, and Wharton. I am enrolling at Wharton in the fall, (deferred my enrollment for one year), and currently run a admissions consulting service specifically for nonprofit candidates.

In my case, I used a lot of the free blog content from services like mbaMission, and books like MBA Game Plan - though these are for everyone. Through the experience, I have my own thoughts on applying specifically from a nonprofit background that I'd be happy to share. I have some of this info on my blog, though I'd be happy to talk more over the phone.

Send me an e-mail if you'd like to talk further!

Hi Memery999,

Julie made some great suggestions. I too applied to business school with a non-profit background. I specialize in working with non-traditional students like yourself. You should check out my free webinar "B-School Despite the Odds: How I Beat the MBA Numbers Game with a Great Story". You can get access to it by submitting your name and email address in the sidebar of the homepage on my website.

"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."
