Dear gogobrotha,

Your GMAT and GPA are in range for your schools, and I think you have some interesting work experience. However, decisions are made on more than those components, so it is imperative you submit a great set of essays and recommendations. You need to distinguish yourself from the thousands of other applicants to your target schools. The quality of your essays can mitigate your AWA, so be sure to have a strong, well-written set.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
