Hello.

Please give me your two cents whether it is even sane to target these schools based on my profile.
(I am considering to apply for next year batch that is Aug 2012. 1st Round Application deadlines for which would be starting week of Oct this year.)

Moreover,Please advise on-->
1)what kind of schools I can get?? is my present set of schools way out of the league??
2)What can be the weakest part in my application and how to improve that??

Hi,

Thanks for your post. While you have some great strengths to your profile (GMAT, interesting college activities), you do have a red flag. Applying to business school with just one year of work experience can be quite challenging. Keep in mind that admissions committees don't calculate the amount of work experience you may have at matriculation, but rather the amount of experience you have at the time of application. With just one year under your belt, the adcom may question your readiness for bschool. You'll need to convince the adcom of your goals as well as your timing. Why is now the right time? What skills would you bring to the program? Which skills are you lacking.

My advice would be to hold off applying for at least a year if possible in order to build more professional experience as well as develop activities outside of the office.

Regards,

Stacey

"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."
