Hi...

I am from India and want to apply Fall 2011 session in MBA 2yrs in US, but I am taking GMAT on 23rd Dec 10.

Is probability of International students to get admission and to get scholarship is equivalently good if to apply in Round 3 in comparison with R 1 or R2 candidates or I should apply in next year for Fall 2012.

Plz revert back with your feedbacks.

Hi Aimkp,

I would highly recommend that you take your test and then apply next year. You didn't mention having your essays done (or even started...) and rushing to meet the R2 deadline is a recipe for disaster. I actually took my GMAT in late December and scored a low 620, leaving me no time to take it again. However, I had already written all of my essays and said, "I'm 100% ready to go. 620 GMAT it is!" To my delight, I was admitted to the Harvard Business School class of 2010. However, this happy ending is an exceptional one--and one that was possible because I was already 100% done with the rest of my application.

I have not yet started with my essay, actually took my test on 2nd nov 10 but bombed in verbal with score 560 (Q-48 & V-20), inspite of getting avg score around 680 & v- 30 in practice tests manhattan & gmat prep. I wanted to finish up my GMAT asap as I m in flow of preparation and knew screwed up on test date due to stress factor

I am taking test on 30th Dec, is it fine then to apply for R1 in next year or there are some gud colleges who still consider international candidates in R3.

"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."
