Upon reflection, my community service has been relatively light. I have participated in events hosted by a professional organization during my undergrad years and a few events at work. How much of a potential problem can this be for an application?

Extra cirricular Activies are considered icing on the cake. It helps present a stronger case. However, if you good work experience under your belt, a good GMAT score and good GPA - you can certainly offset that.

In your case, your music band experience is unique and I'd certainly highlight it in 'Interest' section.

You'll also be surprised that some extracurriculars will come up while you're writing your application. Just make sure to use the rest of your application to stress what you're good at and point out what you'll bring to their MBA program.

"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."
