2. Technical blogger on Oracle products since 2011. Have close to 70000 hits on my blog
3. I have written 3 technical whitepapers in my company

Hey Vishal,
Well, I'd love to help out but I need more info from you first: Have a TOEFL score? What was your UG school? Your GPA? What extras do you have? Volunteer work? Leadership? What were your main achievements?

Applying as an Indian IT Male dude is very hard, even with an 800 GMAT, so I am looking for extra stuff too!!!

Yeah, I understand

, but I have to make things work. Let me be honest here. My academics is the only thing I have. My book, my blog, CFA level 1 and my work exp.

My UG school was Birla Institute of Technology. It is one of the top 10 schools for engg in India but I dont think it is known internationally. My percentile in UG was 71.9

I do not have any volunteer work or anything that proves my leadership. No TOFEL and no extra work

I am just one of those who is good at studying.

My GMAT is scheduled in a week's time and I wanted to understand the kind of score that will keep me in the race for the best b-schools in the world

Regards,
Vishal

Well, top 10 are likely gonna be stretches for you then... But let's not worry about that just yet. First take your GMAT come back here with your score, and then from there it's always easier to figure things out.

"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."
