Just got done with my GMAT today, didn't go as expected 670 (Q46 V36) might retake to cross 700.

Undergrad GPA : 3.2 in civil engineering from India.

Masters GPA : 3.36 in Engineering management from USC.
I have taken some basic economics, accounting and financial analysis courses in my masters.

I ve been working for the last year and a half in IT consulting.

I am working on a good essay.

Potential weakness : No research experience,the recommendation letters might not be great

Target schools : Syracuse, UMass Amherst, SUNY Buffalo, UT Austin.

Please feel free to critique.

Get good recommendations,, its very important.

Your profile looks nice but then how are you planning to make up for the work experience.It is advisable to gain some experience in the research. This is one of the important areas that the universities lookout for. You will need to have exceptional academic track sheet to put forward.

"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."
