Hi,

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately there really isn't such a thing as "safe school" selection these days. Given the competitive nature of the bschool application process, you need to select programs to apply which fit your post MBA goals as well as your other personal and professional interests. Finding schools where you can identify a connection to the program will certainly help boost your chances of success. Research is critical, and it's best to apply to a mix of programs with a few safer type choices as well as a couple of target and a couple of reach programs.

Best of luck in your research!

"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."
