Hi Sajib,

Since you have more than 2 yrs work experience it makes sense to focus on MBA rather than MS programs. Based on your career goals you should target B-schools like Chicago Booth, Wharton, NYU Stern, Columbia. These schools are highly ambitious so you can also consider some realistic B-schools which are known for finance like Tepper, Iowa-Tippie, Rochester Simon, SMU Cox, Rotman. Prepare well for GMAT and target 730+ and start early and give more time to prepare solid application essays. Let me know if you have any questions.

Right now your GMAT is too low for most top programs. I would focus on improving that before even considering applying.

"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."
