I shall be applying for Business school this fall. I hope to change my career industry through the MBA. Will it be a good choice to intern with a target industry company this summer?

Also, I have limited options for recommendations. Given that there is nearly 6 months (R1 deadline) 9 months (R2 deadlines), what are my options to 'develop' a referee during this period?

Hi bm2012,

Thanks for posting. For your question, admissions teams are looking to hear your goals, and also what you have done in the past to put yourself in the position to achieve these. For this reason, interning at a target company does provide advantages.

For your recommendations, these can also be provided by individuals who you have worked with through extra-curricular activities.

If you'd like, we also provide free 30 minute phone consultations here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/

Best,

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."
