Hello,

It's hard to evaluate your profile without two key elements: your goals and your performance at work - being able to demonstrate a truly outstanding performance relative to expectations and to accomplished peers at a top-notch company can make a positive difference. It's important to top b-school adcoms.

For the goals, a key factor would be how you could tie your experience to your goals. In addition, regarding your work, do you have business interface directly or indirectly? Answers to such questions would affect your competitiveness.

categorization of schools is accurate, with the exception of Yale, which I'd put in the long-shot category. Or, I'd say, long shot but still a reasonable reach, if the points noted above are addressed satisfactorily.

Best regards,
Cindy Tokumitsu

"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."
