To decide which schools are a good fit for you, you need to think about what you want out of your experience. Issues to consider:
- school location
- career center vs. your goals
- size of class
- reputation
- school's culture
- activities/programs

Then you need to research, reasearch, research to find a school that is a good fit for you!

thanx stacy,

I have looked into this and also tried browsing through the websites of a few top univs. But, i cudnt find out which of the univs fall in line with my career goal direction. I am very much concerned abt the school's reputation. I look only at the top schools (loaction not an issue). I prefer a multi-cultural community in the classroom and the size is not of much concern to me. How do I start searching for specific schools from here?

Plz do help me evaluate my profile also. I am looking at HBS. Where do I stand?

"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."
