Hi, I'm on the wait-list for my 1st choice part time program, ad have been accepted to my 2nd choice. Since being wait-listed I have switched firms and roles in my professional career. I alerted my 1st choice program (the one I'm wait-listed for) of my professional updates. The admin came back right away and congratulated me and asked for an updated resume, which I provided. Being that the programs start in a few months, I feel I have to make a decision soon. I have been in contact through email for my 1st choice; Would it be too aggressive to request a personal meeting with the Admin at first choice? I'm unsure of etiquette or protocol at this stage, but I'm up against the clock? What can I do to get an update from the waitlisted program? Thanks in advance

You can always ask for a meeting or an early decision, as long as you do so politely. I've seen people do this in the past, and sometimes it does get a positive response (though not always).

Worst comes to worst, if you are nearing the acceptance deadline for the first school, then you confirm your acceptance, pay your deposit and wait to see what happens with the other school.

"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."
