Hello,

Thanks for sharing. You have a stellar GMAT score and decent undergrad grades. Professionally, I'm unclear on what you do. IT consulting? Development/engineer work? The entrepreneurial experience is good but if you have no results to show, won't go too far. Moreover, your current unemployment would be seen as a bit of an issue.

So... it's not an easy answer! I think I'd need to know more about your professional experience and what you are looking for in a program before I respond.

Thanks,
Mili

"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."
