Hey there!

If you haven't even taken your GMAT yet and you are asking about which schools accept students straight from college, I am going to say that you are DEFINITELY not prepared to apply to top business schools yet. The deadlines are less than two months away, and you have to write all of your essays, mister!

What is the rush anyway? (This question is coming from someone who applied to business school during my senior year of college.)

You need to first take the time to research the various programs, get clarity regarding what you want to do post-MBA, and take your time in writing stellar essays.

It's awesome that you are feeling so enthusiastic about applying to business school, but you'd be doing yourself a great disservice to rush the process at this point.

"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."
