You are a bit late for the Fall 2013 applications. My advice to you: Fall 2014.

Don't rush things dude. Take your time. A 640 is not bad, but maybe in the next six months you can boost your score by tens of points, which means you getting into a far better school! Not bad right?? It will also give you time to figure out WHICH schools you want to apply to, and to do some initial research about them.

Thank you so much Jon. I was planning to apply to olin, tepper and simon anyway to get in the applying mode. I did have a talk with admission officer at olin who encouraged me to apply. I dropped the idea to apply to hult couple of months back as i wasnt really sure about the school.

Is it advisable to apply now.
Thanks alot.

Hmm.. Well ultimately its up to you - what your goals are, what is important to you, where you'd be happy. My tendency would be to say to wait, just because if you apply to one school and get into that one school, then you will never know what might have happened with other schools, and for that you should wait. But, on the other hand if they are interested in you, and the school would help you reach your goals, and you would be happy there, then why not?

"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."
