My name is Andrew. I am planning to apply in the fall of 2013 to begin in 2014. I am trying to make a plan of action for the next year in order to maximize my chances of getting in to a top school. I am also trying to decide on schools to which I should apply. Here is my profile:
25 year old white male
BA in Korean w/ minor in Economics from Brigham Young University
3.46 GPA
750 GMAT (48 Q, 45 V, 5.5 AWA, 7 IR)
Fluent in Korean
In the summer of 2011 I started a language and culture education program for foreign college students. I graduated in April 2012 and have continued to run and grow this business full-time. I employ 15 people, and the program has recorded consistent growth since its inception. We partner with U.S. universities while serving overseas clientele.
I interrupted my undergraduate study in 2006 and volunteered as a full-time missionary for two years in South Korea. I worked during my entire undergraduate study, spending two years as a Korean language instructor, 1 year teaching a university course on Chinese written characters, 6 months as a research assistant, and one year running my business. I have volunteered at the boys and girls club coaching youth soccer teams and at the local city youth recreational sports leagues coaching youth football teams.
I will have about 27 months of post-graduation work experience by the time I enroll , though i started my business 10 months before I graduated.
What can I do during this next year to help my application? Which schools should I consider?
Thanks in advance!
Andrew

"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."
