Thanks! My profile: M/25/730/4YR WE Investment Banking/Corporate Dev. I think Haas, along with many other schools, has a very holistic process, I met fellow admits with 650 and 780 GMATs. If I was in your shoes and applying to Haas again, I would be sure my XC's aligned with my passions and that my ...

Full Ride to Haas! Thanks Beat the GMAT & Stacy Blackman
I am in at Haas with a full tuition scholarship! I was also accepted at Tuck but Cal’s offer was impossible to refuse. I was an active member of this forum during my GMAT prep days. I just wanted to thank the founders of this forum and also tell the members about my experience with Stacy Blackman Co...

Killer Q Score! No one gets a 60 in math. 51 is the highest I have seen. I believe a pair of 51s would get you an 800 if not, very close. A 51Q 40V would be in the 750/760 range. I got a 49Q 41V and got a 730, so I think if you just focus on verbal you are money! Manhattan SC is amazing!!! Kaplan ha...

Mastahan, I look at the GMAT this way: If you believe you can increase your score to 730, try. You have nothing to lose; you have plenty of time to write essays. The 30 pt. increase moves your application from the potential admit pile to the real horsepower pile. A move from a 700 to a 730 moves you...

Your experience on the verbal section reminds me a lot of the feelings I had during my first go around. In preparation for my second test, I started practicing with the pressure on. All of my practice was timed. I believe that this alone was a huge contributor to my success the second go around. Kee...

Congrats! I wouldn't sweat it. The returns are diminishing beyond 750 anyway. I scored 2 750's (MGMAT and GMATPrep) before the test and got a 730 on the actual. No big deal, time to start writing essays! Amazing score!

Maxx, Grab Manhattan SC and live it, eat it, drink it, know it. That alone should improve your Verbal score dramatically. Also get comfortable with Kaplan's method for CR and RC. It looks like you have that material already and I thought Kaplan's methods were pretty good for those areas. Don't rush ...
