Hi L,
That is a pretty significant jump! Make sure you address this gap in your optional essay (where you can highlight any weakness/areas of concern in your application). AdCom will want to know why there is such a difference in scores.

Regarding your competitiveness for the schools listed below, its very difficult to say, as much of the decision is based on your work experience, essays, LORs, ECs, interview, etc.

You might want to check out Veritas Prep's School Selector Tool. Its a quick and fun way to get a sense of what schools you might be competitive for.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

"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."
