Hey guys,

I have completed my engineering 3 months ago with GPA of 2.94/4. I have been working on my startup since and its going good until now. But since I have some extra time in my hands I was thinking of starting to prepare for GMAT from now and take the test
in November.

Will it be possible for me to get a decent MBA degree next year or shall I just wait for a few years before I take up GMAT. If possible, what score shall I aim for?

You should think about gathering a few more years experience. You are going to want to target a high score (relative to school you are applying to) with a below average GPA -the number depends on your goals for schools...

I agree that you should wait a few years before applying to b-schools, but since you have free time now, I think you should start studying for the GMAT. Your scores are good for 5 years. So as long as you plan to apply within the next 5 years, then you'll be all set.

"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."
