I have heard that different countries have different "quota". And the Japanese student can entry MBA easier because of the relationship of Japanese corporate and the university.
Is it true?

Eric,
There isnt necessarily a quota, but schools do try to limit the number of students from certain countries. For example, countries like India and China have a large number of applicants and yet only a few get in.

I have heard that the limit or "quota" related to the number of job available in the particular countries.

For example, if the adcom know that there are not many job available in China and India, they assume that Chinese and Indians need to find a job in US and therefore a stronger proflie is needed in order to compete with the local student in job hunting.

On the other hand, for those come from Europe and Japan, the adcom know that they can go back to they home countries and find a job, therefore, students from there can be admitted with relative weaker profile.

Is it true?

"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."
