Hello all. I am graduating from CUNY Brooklyn College in June with a BA in both Marketing and Business, Management, Finance along with a very unimpressive 2.5GPA. My first few years in college were absolutely terrible; I was not ready for the plunge mainly due to work and basically flunked out. I ended up getting my Associate Degree at Kingsborough College making Dean's List Honors and eventually made it back to Brooklyn College where I finished very strong and actually ended up getting Honors in some of my final classes. I have made a decision to start studying for the GMAT with the intentions of applying to NYU Stern, but am very nervous about my GPA. I do however have 9 years solid administrative work experience in both the legal and construction fields. I know that Stern has an average of 708 on the GMAT and 3.5 GPA. My question is, with a mixture of my work experience and such a terrible GPA, what score should I shoot for o nthe GMAT. And even if I was to get a great score on it, would the odds of me getting accepted be great? My undergrad experience was not the greatest, but I'm really determined to make my grad experience be exceptional.
Any ideas or suggestions?

"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."
