here's my info:
23, Female, US born/raised but of Indian descent
B.S. finance from NYU, GPA 3.5
working at investment bank in 2 year analyst program (in 2nd year)
GMAT 660 (Q44 (70%), V37 (81%), overall 83%

my reccs would come from a managing director in my group.

Do i have a shot at MIT, Columbia, Berkley, Northwestern? What do i need to work on - retake GMAT? More experience?

Should i apply this year (for the jan 7 deadline)?

Given the competitive nature of MBA admissions this year, I would recommend more work experience. However, only you know how varied and challenging your work has been to date so you need to make that decision. Your GPA is strong and your GMAT is about average. Your application would be strengthened by more work exp and a slightly higher GMAT score.

"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."
