Hi,

Request your assistance in choosing a right university.

My background is below:
I work in a world big 4 Audit/Consultancy firm and I have a strong work experience (2 years) in IT Consulting. I have done 2 related certifications in the field of IT Consulting and IT Audit.
I have done my Bachelors of Science in Information Systems Management (3 year course) and I am right now also pursuing Post Graduate Diploma in IT (in distance learning mode).

I have not given my GMAT yet. I am anticipating a score of roughly 680.

I am targeting Carnegie Mellon, Texas A&M, Oxford Said, Cambridge Judge Business School, National University of Singapore.

Please let me know if I have chosen the univsersities sensibly.

Thank you very much.

Hi Miss Sundaram,

Thanks for posting. First, I recommend you read this case study of a Big 4 candidate who was accepted into NYU Stern: https://www.stacyblackman.com/2011/09/08 ... eer-goals/

Regarding the universities you have targeted, what you are your goals post-graduation? Oxford Said will provide a very different experience than Carnegie Mellon, for example.

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

"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."
