Greetings. I am very interested in going to business school, but before I take the GMAT I wanted to know if you wouldn’t mind taking a look at my credentials. My profile is as follows:

Male
26 years old
Graduate top 10 ten Liberal Arts College
Economics major (Sociology minor)
Team captain of college basketball team
3.0 GPA
3 ½ years working experience for a Dutch-owned financial services company
Currently in a managerial role

Using my practice tests as an indicator, I would say I am on pace to score a 650 on the GMAT.

Any feedback regarding my chances of getting into a quality MBA program is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear gabriel16,

While your GPA will be below the average for many schools, I do think you could have a competitive application if you score over a 650 on the GMAT. Since admissions decisions are based on more than a GMAT, GPA and years of experience, your essays, recommendations and interview can make the difference in the resulting decision. If you have some successful leadership experiences, a solid rationale for getting a MBA, and realistic career goals, you should be able to make a compelling case for admission.

Best of luck,
Lisa

"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."
