Hi Stacy,

It would be great if you could help me in evaluating my profile for a Part-Time MBA.

GMAT : 720 [Q50(90%), V37 (81%)] AWA : 4.5 ; IR : 7 (81%)
Undergrad GPA : 9.2/10 from Numer one ranked private school in India
Master's GPA : 4/4 from North Carolina State University
Major : Electrical Engineering
Work Experience : 7 years at a $1 billion company in semi-conductors.
Others :
Published 5 conference/journals in IEEE.
Filed 3 patents from work.
Initiated a non-profit for education during master's and worked for 2 years with it.

My essay writing skills are not something that I would boast of. I would put them in the average range.

My target is UCBerkely part-time MBA since that is where all the tech companies are, and I want to be involved in tech start-ups.
My other options are Emory in Atlanta, Mccombs in Austin.

It would be great if you can evaluate my profile.

Hi satluri,

Thanks for posting. You have a strong application. The biggest challenge you will have is differentiating yourself from a competitive candidate pool.

"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."
