Hi Sunita,

Thanks for your post. You certainly appear to have a solid profile. Your work experience and solid academics are two great assets and will certainly help boost the appeal of your applications.

I think you can certainly be competitive for admission at the schools on your list. The key for you is to find ways to stand out in the applicant pool. Perhaps some of your extracurricular activities, such as teaching children, could make for good essay topics. You'll also want to have clear and logical goals and be able to demonstrate a connection between what you've been doing and what it is you wish to do post MBA (you didn't share this information so this is just some basic advice).

It sounds like you've already decided on your school list. Just be sure to do lots of research and go beyond school websites. You want to clearly demonstrate a connection to each school in your application so that they know that you will make a solid contribution to their community.

Regards,

Stacey

"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."
