Hi there, thanks for your post.

So there are some unknowns in your profile, like what your post-MBA goals are and what you'll actually get on the GMAT (good luck, by the way!). It also seems like the extracurriculars you list are all from university, so I'm not sure if you have more recent activities? But I'd say your academics and work experience seem solid.

One thing for you to be thinking about though is how you're going to differentiate your profile from other similar applicants. To be honest, these schools will see a lot of applicants from your demographic with a technical / engineering background. So think about the strengths that you have compared to your peers and how you can highlight those in different parts of the application.

As for the GMAT, it obviously depends on which schools you're targeting. The 4 schools you list are not typically considered Top 10, which are obviously a lot tougher. If you can reach a 720 then that's a good score for the programs you listed. If you look at median GMATs for those programs they range from about 670 (ESADE) to 711 (ISB) with Judge and Said around 680/690. So a 720 would put you in a good spot there.

Best of luck with the GMAT studying and let us know if we can help with any questions down the road.

"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."
