Congrats archie on such a great score. Can you please share your experience regarding the SC and CR questions you saw on the GMAT ? How close were they as compared to the questions in the OGs ?

I guess everybody's busy these days holidaying. I have not taken the GMAT .am just a fellow test taker but from what I have read on the forums here the questions in the OG are mostly in the 500-700 category on the GMAT in SC and CR. The difficult questions are towards the end of the SC and CR sections in the OG. So I think that the questions are not very representative, but there's a great amount of learning which can be done from those questions.

I have an admit from Rotman and UIUC(with a good scholarship). What is interesting is that I have performed well on the CAT and have got interview calls from a couple of Indian business schools as well. I was not even thinking that I would do well given the fact that the last two years I didn't do very well. II will be considering these options first but then there are grueling interviews to take care of! If I don't make through any Indian schools so will be going to UIUC Smile

It seems like some people get everything and some others struggle for even one thing. Archie is a case in point for the first part and probably I for the second part! Very Happy Congrats Archie!

Hehe. Just must up some courage and be determined and you would also come in the first category. Smile

That's great news. There would be really few people who would be so fortunate to get admits from phoren business schools as well as the desi ones. But I am assuming that UIUC and Rotman would have kept a deadline for the submission of the initial deposit, right ?And usually indian business schools dont release their results till April, so what will you do ?

Rightly said. I just wonder when I'd be able to move beyond the first hurdle-the GMAT. Seems like it's time to stop being a lazy bum and get my act together.

I'm going to pay the initial deposit either to UIUC/Rotman by the end of this week. It's around $1000 which is not a big amount. At least that will secure my admission and i can be sure that I'm going for an MBA somewhere or the other. After that once the indian business schools release their results, I can decide finally where I want to go.

I did not perform well on my first attempt and that's why I did not put a debrief here. I became quite anxious during the test. I have booked my slot for 11th May now and hopefully I should do better this time . Fingers crossed!
