Application Volume

by comebackkid » Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:19 pm

I understand the registrations and administrations of the GMAT are on par with last year's volume; however, I am interested in whether the volume of consulting business your industry is capturing follows the volume of the GMAT numbers.

In other words, from your perspective, do you expect application volume to increase, decrease, or remain the same in the 2009-10 admissions cycle relative to the 2008-09 admissions cycle?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Hi - thanks for your question, although I don't think my answer will be very valuable. I really just can't say. Looking just on numbers it seems like things are about the same, but we represent a small subset of applicants so it's only one minor data point. Do we know if a heavy R1 for us indicates heavy volume or that more people are applying in R1, for example?

So I'm sorry I can't help - my best advice is simply not to worry about what you can't control and focus on making your application as strong as it can be!

"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."
