Dear hangrock,

You need to decide what you want from your MBA program and then prioritize that list. Are possible career opportunities more important to you than possible financial aid for school? How much of an impact will being at SCU over LMU truly have on your job search? Are you sure there is a significant difference? It is possible there is, but the biggest determinant in your career search will be you, not the name of your school or its career center. Since these schools are in the same metro area, then you should have access to the same companies and be able to network with the same folks. Do your research and find out what real differences there are in terms of career connections and resources. It might not be that significant, but it might; then you will know if it is worth forgoing any financial aid. Likewise, how much financial aid is LMU offering? Is it a significant amount--enough to forgo better career opportunities? Or is it minimal and worth giving up for the career resources and connections of SCU?

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thank you so much for your advice. I know that I still need more info from schools as well to make the decision.

"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."
