Hello, Sushma,

From the information you've provided, I'd consider Cox an on-par target program and McCombs a reasonable reach - good choices. I can't say what the likelihood of funding is; however.

Improving your GMAT would make you all the more competitive at the two schools. It could also increase your chance of funding. Whether it is worth the effort depends on how certain you are that you can raise the score significantly with a reasonable effort.

Best regards,

Hi Sushma. Thank you for sharing a great question.

One strategy you can consider for boosting your overall candidacy (without re-taking the GMAT), is increasing your community leadership profile. Our professional group, USA Leadership Corps (www usaLeadershipCorps org), can help you accomplish this objective.

USALC partners with pre-MBAs who are looking to build their consulting, entrepreneurship, and/or community-involvement resumes by leading part-time volunteer nonprofit strategy consulting projects. Please visit our website to learn more.

Thank you again & good luck with your applications.

"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."
