Can you guys give me a rough evaluation of my profile?

Graduated 2007 from UCI with BSEE.
GPA 3.2
GMAT 740
Work exp. 2 years doing Application Engineer/IT stuff.

Would I fit into top 15 programs? I'm not too optimistic about Top 10 so i'm going to shoot for Top 11-15 (UCLA, USC, ... etc).

What are some things that i need to work on to improve my acceptance chance at those schools?

Hi -

Thanks for your post. As you probably know, its hard to gauge your candidacy into these MBA programs based on profile/stats, as much of the decision is based on your essays, LORs, interview performance. That said - here is my feedback.

Overall, you are in one of the most competitive applicant pool - IT/Engineering background. Therefore your biggest challenge is how to best differentiate yourself. What makes you different from the thousands of IT applicants that will apply to the same schools with similar stats?

Also, do you have any community service experience. That is a great way to boost your application.

Regards,

NP

"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."
