Hello,
My ambition is to join a top tier business school (US/International). What puts me off from starting my GMAT pre. is my profile. I'm not sure if business schools will accept a profile like mine even if score good in GMAT say around 730. I'm 32 with nearly 10 years exp. and my CV is not impressive. Is it possible to get some advise based on my profile to decide if it is worth trying!
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
Regards

Well, unless you've been working at McDonalds as the Fry Guy since you graduated, your resume can usually be worked to show your best accomplishments. In my experience, people often have gems in their record that they may not even recognize.
As an example, right after college I was hired to run a movie theater. Not a glamorous post, and hardly impressive in many people's eyes. Yet in eleven years with that company (and four locations of increasing responsibility), I won numerous awards for professional standards and success, and my skill set included doing my ow hiring and training, my own ADP payroll, analyzing my cash flow and product performance and ordering my own concession inventory, bidding for films, auditing other managers' operations and preparing my own P&L statements to figure out in advance what would happen to my next year's budget.
When I plugged all that into my resume, my profile took on a distinctly superior polish, and every word of it is true.
Ten years of work is bound to show some sort of accomplishment; focus on that.

It is hard to say based on your description of your work history. I have seen people with remarkably little achievement despite working for the same employer for over a decade (inertia can be a remarkably powerful force in the workplace). You need not have the most impressive sounding title or have worked for a major firm as long as you show you have made a meaningful contribution to your company and have potential for advancement.
