Hi, Mann
First of all, the answer depends on what you consider a "good" institution. There are many criteria for selection the right program - curriculum, learning style, geography, etc. If you mean a top tier school like HBS or Stanford, then a GMAT score over 700 (with at least 80th percentile on each section) will put you better in their range. The schools will also look at your GPA and major as other indicators of academic ability. In terms of your chances to get in, the AdCom will also consider your intended career path and if you can demonstrate relevant skills and experiences that relate to where you want to go. In your 8 years of experience, can you show how you have progressed and demonstrated leadership? I would also encourage you to highlight any community service or personal stories that could make you stand out from similar applicants. One other path you could consider is an Executive MBA program if you are planning to stay within your current career track. You have a lot of years of work experience, so you may want to determine if this would be a good fit for you.

"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."
