Hello,

From the information you provided, I think that Wharton and Haas would be rather far reaches. Your age is a slightly negative factor, and being (it seems from your name) an Indian in IT places you in an over-represented group. To be competitive for those schools with your demographic background you would probably need a GMAT in the mid 700s.

Have you considered top EMBA programs? With your age and your position as Senior Consulting Manager, it seems that an EMBA might be a better fit.

"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."
