I'm not convinced you are targeting the best MBA programs for you -- unless you are planning to return to your current employer.

Cornell's accelerated program is for people with an advanced scientific degree; Kellogg's is for people with undergraduate degrees in business or at least a lot of business classes. You don't fit either profile, according to your post.

Emory and ISB are more feasible and appropriate, but I am concerned that your undergrad grades could be an issue. Not enough of an issue not to apply, however. INSEAD is a major stretch.

Would you consider HEC?

"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."
