Hi,

I just talked to some folks and I checked the websites of quite a few schools(TAMU, UI @Urbana Champaign, UW@Madison, UNC-Kenan Flagler etc.). I checked those previously as well, and considered round2 accordingly. Also, they all declared 1st round dates around mid Sept, although they mentioned different round 2 dates for International applicants. I want to apply for fall 2015 (no exception!). My GMAT is on 27th Sept. I am not prepared enough to prepone the test date and I will have to sit for TOEFL, provided I have good GMAT score. But those folks, I talked to, told me that it will not be a good option and I am late. Would I still be able to apply for and get admitted to Fall 2015 course?

They are simply saying that there is a lot for you to do in a short period of time - this is true. It does not mean that you can't do it, but be prepared for a lot of long hours working on test prep and applications.

Hi Tanvi,

It requires considerable amount of effort, time and focus for stellar application. As a International applicant you need to apply on or before round 2, so suggest you to simultaneously work on your applications along with GMAT preparation. We all know it is difficult to focus on both but still possible to complete 2-3 applications by September end. Go for it! and start your preparation immediately.

"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."
