I am a Dentist, but I will call myself an entrepreneur because I am running a Polyclinic since 2009, second clinic since 2013 and an advertising company since 2014.
I have a GMAT score of 680 (Q=49, V=32) again 680(Q=48, V=35). My target is Top 30 MBA colleges, So I will like to know
1) which all colleges should I target?
2) Am I hoping against hope if I am targeting for top 30 colleges?
3) Since I have got score of 680 twice, I dont think I can increase it further but I still do not want to give up on my dream of top 30 colleges. What to do?

On the basis of the info you provide, top 30 seems within reach. Your experience might help you standout. You don't mention where you are from, nor you undergrad or your goals. Obviously these issues will effect your application. cheers, Alex

not sure I can ID specific schools, but I do think top 30 is doable, given your less traditional career and goals. You will have to execute your essays very well of course. Round 1 is pretty important for you given you are coming from a pool of candidates (male and Indian) which is very well represented in the application pool. cheers, alex

"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."
