Hey Stacy,

I've read some of your profile evaluations of other prospective students and really like the tailored advice you give. So I decided to come out of the woodwork and ask you to evaluate my profile.

Here are some stats:

24/F/Black-American
GPA - 3.41
GMAT - > Last Practice Test was 590, official test date next week.
W/E -> 2.5 years with a Fortune 500 (Finacial Analyst)
EC - Team Leader/Volunteer for several projects with NYCares

I am applying to NYU Langone for Fall 2010 (deadline is May 15th)

I would love to hear whether I'm competitve for Stern. Should I apply for Fall 2010 or should I get more work experience/extra curriculars? Is there anything I can do in the short run, aside from increasing my GMAT scores, to increase my chances?

Thank you!

Dear ellomate,

Depending on how you do on the GMAT, I think you have the foundation for a competitive application for the Langone Program. Your GPA is strong and you have solid work experience. As long as you score in the mid-80% range, I think you should go ahead and apply unless you feel you are not ready to start the program this year. It is imperative you have a great application package though in the event your GMAT does come in below average. A strong set of essays, great interview, and solid recommendations can make a compelling case for the admissions committee to offer you a seat in the class.

Best of luck!
Lisa

"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."
