Dear Rine x, Whether or not you need a business degree or to have taken some undergraduate business coursework depends on the school's requirements for admission. Likewise, whether or not you have to take the GMAT or can take the GRE depends on the school. You will see some variance on these requir...

I am not as familiar with PhD programs, but I do know that many MBA programs are now accepting the GRE. You might try taking a sample GRE online to see if your scores are better there. Then you could check with the schools you are targeting to see whether they accept either test. If you didn't send...

To address the interview process, it was really quite classic stuff about career choices, why I chose LBS, and what I hope to get out of the MBA education. I seem to recall comparing the LBS curriculum to Imperial. I asked questions about the student body, career demographics, and work-life balance...

Clear up your head,tell yourself that this is not the end of the world,that your GMAT score is not what defines you as a person;you're much above that. Every failure in life is an opportunity . In my ca...

Generally, three tests is pushing it. Four or five is a danger signal that you are focusing on the wrong things. It also signals that you are having difficulty with the test so that even eventually getting a higher score is not very convincing. Hi Tani, Thanks for the info.I just took my second att...
