Hi,
My name is Piyush and i am from India.
I have done my graduation in BBA(Finance), it was a 3 year course and i completed it in May,2013.
I will give GMAT in Dec,2013 and will apply for Sept,2014 intake.
My question is what are my chances of getting admission in a good B-School(USA,UK) having done a 3 year course and i will only have 1 year work experience by Sept,2014.
Please suggest what should i do.

Honestly, you should wait. At 1 year you're in a really tight spot and it will be close to impossible to get into a top ranked program. On top of that, you'll be applying R2 so that just adds to it. If you look to the profiles of those generally admitted, there's a reason the "average years of work experience" is 4 - 7.

If I may ask - what's the rush? If there a compelling reason you're applying when you have <6 months of work experience?

No Vaishnavi it cant happen like that. The test is mandatory. All the students have to undergo the test. And the admission depends on the score you get.

"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."
