Hi - My GPA is 3.3 and I worked at a bulge bracket investment bank for three years and now I work at a institutional investor firm. My letters of recommendation will be given by heads of IB department.

What score do I need to get to realistically get into a top 10 program?

Where are you from? Where did you graduate from? With a diploma in what? What do you do? What is your ranking? What volunteer work do you have?

Hey there,

At the very least, your GMAT will likely have to be at or above the median for most top 10 schools given your low GPA. With the limited information you provided, that's as far as I can take it at this point. If you'd like to get a better sense of your profile, check us out and fill out a free consultation form here, we'd love to chat.

Best,

GPA is probably on the mid to low side for most top 10s. I would think you would need to be above 730 GMAT.

"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."
