Hello ,

I have been trying to get into the part-time (evening) programs of Kellogg and Booth. I have a 3.8 GPA from Purdue (BS Engineering) and have 6 years of valuable work experience, along with a strong travel exposure and other extra curricular activities (recommendations should not be an issue either as I have my managers to back me up). However my GMAT score is 640 (stronger Quant), in spite of 680-720 that I had scored on my practice exams. I am just concerned that this GMAT score will affect my entry into the evening programs of Kellogg/Booth. I am not a native English speaker and as a result have always had issues with the reading comprehension section.

Any thoughts on this ?

Did you hear back from Kellogg? I'm still waiting to hear back for the Saturday cohort.

You should know that part time programs are not as strict about the GMAT as the fulltime programs since they are not required to report their scores to the ratings boards. THey also understand that you are focused on your career and do not perhaps have the same time to prepare for the test as others who are doing their full time MBA prep. I would encourage you to apply. Let us know if you need help bringing out your best in the applications. I have a lot of expertise with PT programs.

"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."
