Hi,

I am Indian IT male. 650 GMAT score, voluntary work,3 US patents. 10+ year experience, low toefl(99). Please rate my chances for UCLA femba and USCPM.

In my essay I wrote that I want to pursue mba in operations mgmt.But I have never seen anybody looking for a career in operations. Sincerely, I like the operations management. Did I make a mistake (by mentioning operations as my choice). But the reason for selecting operations is strong, it matches my engineering work of optimizing software products.

Please suggest

Thanks
tamegemat

Dear tamegemat,

There are MBAs that enter the field of operations, and it was not a "mistake" to write about your true career goals in your applications. What might be a concern is whether or not you applied to appropriate programs for your career goals. If you have done your research and believe the two programs you applied to are a good match for your career goals, then you should not worry about this aspect of your application.

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."
