Hi DHPPRS,

Are you British? Are you interested in programs in the US or in Europe? Have you identified any schools you are interested in?

I think the sticky threads on what GPA/GMAT is required for top programs and school selection will be helpful.

Your academics sound potentially strong (depends what you really get on the GMAT). Your work experience could be an asset, depending on the level of responsibility you have achieved, projects you have worked on, etc. Have you been involved in a leadership position in your extracurriculars, and are they current?

Good luck!

Amy

"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."
