Hi Angie and thanks so much for your post!

Your background looks strong, and from what I can tell from your post, it looks as if you left your job to move to the US with your spouse. Is that correct? If so, then this is really quite an easy thing to explain to the adcoms as to why you're currently unemployed. The big question for them will really be "How is she using her time now?". I would suggest that if you can at all volunteer in the field you're interested in working in, that may be helpful, but it does seem as if otherwise, you are doing exactly the right thing. Taking classes in the field that you hope to pursue, and working on your extra-curriculars are a great use of your time.

"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."
