your profile is way too light on specifics to recommend schools, but i would say with good acacdemic record, your good GMAT score and international work experience, you should be shooting for a top tier (top 25) business school. you need to assess your career goals and your desired learning style and environment before you choose a list of target schools. Visiting schools with a good reputation in the areas you are attracted to (industry or curriculum wise) is a good start.

actually my undergraduate GPA is relatively weak, only at B-, 70% to 73%, (sorry, I forget to included this above).

Is there any good website that provides information regarding the reputation of the program and the application deadline? many thanks.

"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."
