varma3008,

Thanks for your note. While your grades are fine, your 640 gmat is a bit low for the very top schools. Thus, you are doing the right thing by focusing on schools like Babson, Boston U and U Maryland Smith. Given your strong interest in Entrepreneurship, Babson is probably your best choice. Since you are focused on the Northeast, you might also look at Boston College - perhaps U. Rochester.

If you submit high quality applications to these schools, you should be able to gain admission to at least one of these schools.

Sincerely,

Eliot Ingram

varma3008,

Thanks for your reply. I think Cornell, CMU and NYU will all be reach schools for you based on your current 640 GMAT score. In fact, you are currently 40-60 points below their average scores. The best way to improve your chances at these schools is by retaking the GMAT and getting a score in the upper 600s.

Sincerely,

"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."
