I just received my rejection notice for the full-time MBA from one of my schools. However, apparently, its' FEMBA (Fully-Employed MBA) office "has reviewed [my] file and has expressed a strong interest in speaking with [me] about [my] candidacy to their program."

My current situation is I am still applying to two other schools, and not employed. This is not my first choice school, but I don't want to let this opportunity pass in case the other schools don't take me. I'm afraid if I wait too long, this offer may disappear. Any advice?

I'm no expert, but I don't see the harm in talking with the FT program and seeing what they have in mind. I doubt you'll be forced to make a decision on moving forward them right then and there. Hopefully an "expert" can chime in. I'd be interested in hearing his/her response, too.

"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."
