I just took the GMAT last week and was very disappointed in my score of 480 (5 AWA). My 4 grad school applications have been submitted and they're all to accredited MBA programs. Is it possible that I have a chance for acceptance considering I graduated undergrad from UCF in May with a 3.84 GPA? (My B.S. Is in Health Admin). if anyone could provide a little advice it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Here is a general thumb-rule you can adopt - if your GMAT score is about 30 points below the average GMAT score of the school OR within the 80% median range then you are safe. Else it is tough despite your stellar undergrad performance.

"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."
