Hi,

Thanks for your post. While you seem concerned about your work experience, I don't see it as an issue. You should be able to discuss your two roles in such a way that demonstrates your success in two different industries. Many try to start their own businesses before applying to bschool only to realize that the venture isn't a success. The fact that you even took the initiative to go out and start the company speaks a lot.

Academically speaking you are in good shape with good grades and a solid GMAT score. I would encourage you to apply to range of schools. Typically I think it's best to apply to 4-6 schools with a mix of reach, target "safety" programs. You should consider applying to a couple of top 10 schools and then round out your list with a couple top 15-20.

Best,

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."
