Thank you for sharing your insights, Antec0721! I just took the real GMAT for the first time today and got 670 Q49 V31. Like yours, my quant was within expectation. But I underperformed on my verbal by as much as 10 points compared to my practice test averages. For some reason, I felt that the verb...

Thanks for the tips. It was a great help. So in your mind are the MGMAT books and the OG 11th edition book enough to do well on the test. I have about 3 months to study for the test. Is this enough time? Thanks. The amount of time required for the GMAT depends on your prior knowledge of fundamental...

My GMAT Takeaways - 550 to 690 to 750

I just finished taking the exam for the 2nd time. Proud to report that I scored a 750 (49Q, 44V). It was not an easy journey. On my first diagnostic, which was taken after my first month of study, I had scored a 550 using the GMATPrep software. I knew I was in no shape for the exam and studied hardc...

Hi Lisa, I have retaken the GMAT and improved my score from 690 to 750. The last time I asked about my chances for the top 5/10, you seemed to indicate that my chances were probably so so, saying that extra-curricular activities were where I was falling short (I agree that this might be a weakness, ...

Hi Lisa, Another thing that I am considering right now, prior to applying for business school is joining the Peace Corps, which is a 2 year commitment of serving in another country as a volunteer. Although it is something that I would really like to do, I don't know if serving would hurt my chances,...

Average profile? Shot at top 5? Top 10?

Hi, I am wondering if I have a solid chance at a top 5 business school with my profile. If not the top 5, then what about the top 10? - Education: Bachelors (GPA: 3.77) and Masters (GPA: 3.91) in accounting from University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign. I know that it isn't an Ivy League, but it i...
