Hi members,

I am in an extremely complicated situation. I got a KF admit last week without scholarship and I am not sure if I should go ahead and join it.
My earlier aim was to go to a top 15 business school, however, I could not convert any of them given my low GMAT score of 710. I have already applied thrice to business schools over last 3 years with only success this time around.

My profile in a snap shot:

Age - 30
GMAT - 710
WE: ~6 years with MBB
Stats: Male, Engg+Eco

Goal : Get back to MBB

I wish to know whether I should let go off KF and apply to other 2 year MBA program in low rank business school ( hoping to get a scholarship since I am already not going to get into a top MBA program and hence difficult to crack MBB) or should I wait for another year to up my ante on GMAT score? Also, I would like to know my chances to crack INSEAD ( this being just the right kind of brand name & program that I need at this point)?

Thank you so much for your advice!!!!!

Really need your help guys

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. You are already working at MBB, but want to go to school to crack into them? Are you saying you are in a back office type of function and you want to move into consulting, but can't without a MBA? If you are already in consulting, then why wouldn't you just stay there? If you can clear up your background a bit I can probably give you better advice.

"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."
