Hi,

Thanks for your post. When thinking about where to apply to business school it's important to consider not only your post MBA goals, but also what else you want to get out of a program. I recommend considering location - big city or small town, as well as class size. Great programs for you could be anything from Darden,Duke or Cornell or Kelley. Again, I encourage you to think a bit more about your post MBA plans and what else you're looking for in a school in terms of size and location.

In general a GMAT score of 700 is needed to apply to top 20 programs in the US. Given your background and experience I would say this is true for you as well. Be sure to aim for an even split on your quant and verbal scores (minimum 80%).

Best,

Stacey

"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."
