I was thinking about it....but I'm wondering if I apply, take the GMAT then it would benefit me much, or would some of it assit me in B-School.
thanks! |

Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:55 pm Post subject: Three questions regarding the 2008 Beat The GMAT Scholarship |
|
|
I submitted my application about three hours ago and have the following three questions:
First, about the attendace requirement for ManhattanGMAT, I live in Tallahassee, Florida where the Manhattan GMAT does not have an office. If selected, is it okay to complete the course on-line, provided there is a time limit to complete it?
Second, whille I included the phone numbers of my references, I did not include their e-mail addresses. May I re-submit a revised application?
Third, I just re-counted the words and noticed that one essay is over two words and another is over three words the limit. I don't want to get disqualified. May I also change that?
I think that I speak for most applicants when I say (write) that you are providing a tremendous opportunity to help leverage the playing field for MBA applicants who don't have the financial means to get professional help for a dramatically competitive endeavor that is applying to graduate business school.
Thanks for the Beat The GMAT Scholarship.
Sincerely,
Isaac |

Thanks for your very kind words, Isaac!
With regard to your questions:
- Yes, it's perfectly fine to redeem your Manhattan GMAT prize as an online course!
- With regard to word counts and references--feel free to re-submit your application to comply with the rules. We'll be more than happy to review your latest submission.
Good luck to you! _________________ Eric

Eric:
I resubmitted my application today in the afternoon and did not get a confirmation e-mail this time. Is this normal?
Thanks,

| Waiting for the announcement of winners is like doing the quant section in a test. You know you have done your part, but even if you wins it (aka get a good score in quant in the test), the battle has only begun for the GMAT and the admission process (aka verbal section in the test)! |
