I finished my UG on may 2012. I started working by sep 2012. Now, I am planning to give my GMAT by aug/sep 2013. So, that I can re-take if I don't get a good score. I thought I would start applying to colleges by the start of 2014. Is this advisable ? Do you suggest any alternative ?

Hello,

It sounds like you are planning to apply by Round 2 2014, is that correct? I'd suggest that you take the GMAT by May/June, so that you can retake the exam before September (if necessary). This will free you up to focus just on essays/applications during the fall.

Good luck!

Hi Mili,

Thanx for the suggestion. Actually I 've jus started workin, I 've like 5 months of work-ex. So, when I apply by the start of 2014, I 'll jus have nearly 1.5 years of work-ex. Is that ok ? I 've heard that it is not sufficient to get into some good college. What do you think ?

Hi,

Yes - that is a pretty low in terms of years of experience. Typical candidates have 3-5 years of work experience before they apply for an MBA. So, you might want to wait in light of that.

Good luck,
Mili

"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."
