Since now you've formed some opinion about me, my work and potential - here are some specific questions I wanted to ask -
1.Can you please advise me which schools I can target - which ones will be my reach, match and safe schools?
2. Am I a diversity candidate since I graduated in design and also worked for a fashion jewelry brand or am I a typical feeder candidate since I come from retail consulting.
3.Being married - Do I need to communicate that in my essays? How does my marital status affect my chances of selection?
4. Low IR Score- Will it make a difference for top 5 schools? ( HBS, Stanford, Wharton etc.)
Also, do I need to retake GMAT for Top 5 schools?

"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."
