Hi, I gave GMAT last week and got a score of 720(51/35).
I wish to apply for the session starting next year july-aug. Given a choice, i would like to pursue the MBA in Operations Management. That is why i have thought of few colleges, like Tepper, Wharton, Purdue, Anderson, to apply to. Further help is required
Any help regarding where should i apply and the application essays would be greatly appreciated.
If you have access to some of the sample application essays or you know someone who has access to the essays, it would be realy helpful if you could forward them to me for reference.

Background: 10th: 93%, 12th: 93%, College: 7.92/10
B.Tech Graduate in Production and Industrial Engineering.
Working in IT domain for the past 27 months.

Hi Saurabh,

Have you considered Darden? As a top general management school, it has a lot of companies that recruit here for operations specific positions, consulting and general management rotational programs (that include stints in Ops).

I feel like this is the leg-work that you should do on your own as it's a pretty big blanket question. I will say that your GMAT score is great so well done on that front! You've got about 2.5 full months to do all of the research needed on all of your target schools to be able to put together a stellar application. You should definitely start reaching out to current students now!!!! Don't wait!

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

"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."
