Dear rakesheval,

You have solid numbers to be competitive at most schools. It is important to identify schools that are a good match for you--what you want to do post-MBA, what curriculum you are seeking, and have a culture where you feel comfortable. Business school is an expensive proposition and a significant investment in yourself, so be sure to select programs that are worth that investment. Likewise, if you are genuinely excited about a school and can pinpoint why the school is a good match, that will show through in your application making you more attractive to the admissions committee.

Good 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."
