Hi Madhav,
Wish I could add more value here, but this program is simply outside of my field of experience. Looking at your stats and the school's incoming class profile, you seem eligible but not at the top of their range. It's a very competitive program, with a relatively low acceptance rate and a high yield statistic, so you may want to invest some time in getting a stronger GMAT score. But everything else -- work experience, GPA -- seems like a good fit with the program. Again, I am only interpreting the data here; unfortunately, I have no first-hand experience working with applicants to this program.

Good luck!
Margaret Strother

"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."
