I took the 9-week MGMAT class and I just followed the MGMAT curriculum. I found their program to be helpful and with all the homework they give you I didn't have much time for anything else. If I were to supplement anything, it would have been with math basics since I hadn't taken a math course sinc...

From my understanding, the essay questions usually come out in the summer time but don't vary much from year to year. Have you been researching schools and doing visits? You might benefit from taking a look at the essay questions from this past year and brainstorming ideas if you have an idea as to ...

1) I've seen and heard from many that there's nothing abnormal about taking the test 3 times and that they won't frown on it. 2) I've heard from current MBA students that applying 1st round is better because they have more scholarship money to give out. But if your application isn't up to par by the...

I'm not a gmat expert, but here are my thoughts... How were you studying with the OG questions? Did you do them timed? Or did you do them leisurely? For me it was best to try to simulate the actual test as much as I could, so I would limit myself to 2 minutes to each question for quant. You could be...

I've heard multiple times that it's favorable to take them in-person. I've heard conflicting things, however, on community college vs. extension school. One of the admissions officers at Kellogg told me that it's better to do them at a place like UCB extension and since she's someone who makes decis...

I know it's easy for me to say, but don't feel that it was a waste. If you do decide to apply next year again, you can learn from this year's dings. Maybe there were reasons outside of the low quant percentile that kept you out that you'll uncover after some post assessment. I wish you the best of l...

Other than stats and calc, I've seen micro economics and accounting recommended.

^Thank you for your thoughtful responses! I did some research on the Cole Fellowship. Are you going to be a fellow next year? It seems like a cool program. Fuqua Vision also seems like a lot of fun! I'm also a California native. The thing that gives me the most pause about Duke is the location -- it...

Thanks, sv02. So here are a few of my questions: 1) Approximately what percentage of students would you say go on a GATE trip each year? 2) How has Duke's increasing emphasis on globalism helped you in your career/internship? I know that you have a 3-week global institute, what was that like? 3) For...
