Just took the GMAT, and got a 710 (49 Q, 38 V). I will be 29 at the time of matriculation, and am a white male. I have worked in a semi-related field, and will have about 6.5 years of experience in Anti-Money Laundering. Here are the schools I'm targeting:

Stretch- LBS, Darden
Target- Kenan-Flagler, McCombs, Owen, Goizueta, Marshall, Fisher

I'm planning on applying to LBS, McCombs, Owen, and Marshall round 1.

this is hard to evaluate with the information provided. Your GMAT is good for these schools, obviously your GPA is not going to be an advantage. (You could help address this by signing up for a couple of classes and getting As). You don't mention anything re: community service or extra curricular activities / hobbies. These might help strengthen your application if they are there, and no mention of your goals, post MBA. Make sure your goals are well developed.

I am curious how you selected those schools, I am trying to see the common theme. cheers, alex

Hi Alex,

Does it matter whether these classes are taken online or in-person? Do you have any recommendations for a candidate in NYC?

I think it matters less than perhaps a few years ago. Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the regional options. cheers, Alex

"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."
