Greetings,

Thanks for the post.

There not quite enough here yet to make a good evaluation, though I'd be happy to speak further with you about it.

Both your GMAT and GPA are within range but not exceptional. Generally, something on the application needs to stand out exceptional. For people with average scores and grades, they've often had extraordinary work or volunteer experience. For the top schools, every candidate needs a specific story that links an impressive career history with an ambitious, world changing career aspiration--a goal that can only be achieved with the tools of an MBA.

I'd be happy to speak more with you about your chances at the top schools, as well as, what could be done to better position you for a candidacy in a year or two.

If you are definitely applying this year in R2, consider including 1 or 2 schools from the second tier.

Best,

Jay

"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."
