Its extremely difficult to tell you how good of a chance you have against all these schools. But i can safely say that there is nothing in your profile that will prevent you from getting into these schools

. But if you want to shortlist schools, i would suggest you to briefly provide your reasons for an MBA, and provide your short term and long term goals along with your geographic preference; this will help people in giving you advice on short listing schools.

Well my short term goal is to join one of the topnotch Hi-Tech consulting firm to become a good consultant.... My long-term goal is to climb up ladder to assume strategic leadership roles.

Well working with infosys for 28 odd months... i have gained the necessary technology knowledge.. more over i have noticed that am quiet flexible to new technologies and am able to pick up soon... and the only thing i need to polish is my domain and business knowledge... i should get to know abt the nuances of business to atain my goal of becoming an consultant... so i need a MBA.

hope i answered your question

"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."
