I'm Indian, female, 25 years old, and a software engineer. I scored a 770 in the GMAT and have decent acads and extra-curriculars. How would you rate my chances at top-20 MBA schools?

Thanks,
Ankita

Ankita,

I would rate them fairly highly based on the GMAT score and your gender. The fact that you are Indian and a software engineer will give you the challenge of differentiating yourself, and if you have fewer than three years of work experience you will be something of an 'outlier' at most business schools. And, perhaps most important, you didn't mention leadership experiences, which are key. Feel free to send me your CV for a closer look.

"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."
