Dear keerth_r,

Like any other international applicant to a US school, the key to gaining an offer of admission lies in how well you present your background, experiences, and rationale for an MBA in your applications. You are competing for a limited number of seats against a very large number of folks, many of whom might look similar to you on paper, so you have to find a way to set yourself apart from them. As for ISB, you are not an international applicant, but you are still competing against many applicants who might appear quite similar to you on paper. Thus the key is still how to distinguish yourself--how do you make the admissions committee remember you and choose you over the others? Your profile is competitive, so now it is a matter of you using your essays, resume, recommendations and (hopefully) interviews to your advantage to make your case for a seat in the class.

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."
