Hello Stacy,
How you doing?? My name is Raj and I am from India.My profile is as follows:-

Undergrad- BBA Loyola College (University of Madras) Aggregate 67%
Post Grad - PG diploma in financial management (Currently pursuing for the 16th year of education)

GMAT - expecting a 550 (Nov 20th 2007)

Work experience - 14 months by fall 08

Extracurricular activities - Volunteer for CRY India , Secretary for the commerce department in my college

I am preparing my applications for fall 08 to study in the united states. I am very concerned with my chances for admissions.Though I have limited work experience , I am very focussed on what I want and I have mentioned that in the essays.

Can you please give me a list of business schools to which I can apply for a full time MBA program where my chances will be a little high for admissions..?? Your help will be really appreciated...Thank U

Maxx

Hi Maxx,

What type of work experience do you have?

It's great that you are focused on your goals and have started your essays - have you picked any target schools yet?

A 550 GMAT may be a barrier to the top 30 or so schools in the US, especially with such little work experience. The best thing to do is to conduct a bit of research online to see what schools are out there. Businessweek.com has a great search feature so you can compare schools with the target GMAT score and specialities you are looking for.

Good luck!

Amy

"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."
