Hi Anshul1302 --

Have you taken the GMAT yet? The GMAT score is not the sole deciding factor in admissions decisions, but it is important to get that datapoint in helping to understand how competitive you might be at these different schools. ISB in particular is incredibly competition - well, all these schools are, actually, but your profile is exceedingly common for the ISB, just given how many others "like you" will be applying. So the GMAT score is one criteria that we can use to see if you'd be in the running.

First of all, you've made a great choice in deciding to apply to an MBA program. I did the same thing last year and attended an MBA program at Babson College. I learned a lot and found myself far more useful in my job. I was actually recently promoted and completely credit my success to Babson. Check the school out if you're interested. It is located in the heart of Boston and is very competitive, but if you are accepted, you will definitely be glad you applied.

"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."
