I wish I could join you all on Tuesday during Lunch hour but I have to go to Markham for work.

Anyway, I would like to get together on a weekend.

Thanks!

I'm back in Toronto so I will meet you guys whenever. In fact, I'm back in my old haunt around U of T and studying my boring butt off.

I really want to meet up with others because I need a fire lit under me. Studying on my own does not elicit enough motivation so I need others to crack the whip.

Yeehaw.

P.S. For those who are interested: NYU Stern's campus isn't really very campus-y. No sprawling greens or grand looking buildings. However, it's in a fabulous part of Manhattan - Greenwich Village. Columbia's campus is large and well-manicured but the business school is really just contained in one (sometimes two) buildings and, according to the dude in the admissions office, the b-school students remain in that bubble.

I live in East York and planning to write GMAT in coming weeks. I need study budy for coming two weeks on a daily basis, since this is all I can afford to prepare any further for GMAT.

Good luck to you all !

I'm going to be hitting the books around U of T's St. George campus this Saturday. Coffee, sunshine, quiet corner in the library... What bliss!

Let's get our study hats on and party (quietly).

Stuart, not sure of your availability but lunch is to be had at some point in the day...

Cheers,

Sandra

Can someone bring a digital camera to this event? I'd love to capture some pics from these meet ups.

Also, Stuart needs a profile pic! Smile

Apart from Stuart, is anyone else available on Sunday (tomorrow)?

Come on people! Where is your motivation! It's kind of like, y'all don't deserve to get into b-school...

Did I just go there? Yes, I did.

Dear GMAT Diary,

Got went through several rounds of SC material today and, to my horror, discovered that I have forgotton once well-known rules and strategies. Worst of all, I am stumbling through idioms, which I used to know pat. Ugh.

Wish those potential study buddies had been at the library to pull me away from the concrete wall, which now bears some oily patches from my forehead.

Will I be able to gain that lofty 700+ mark on my test? Only time and hard work will tell...

Yours truly,
Sandra

You guys have been planning this meet from the 14th of June, it has been more than a month and a half, I am beginning to think the whole thing is just a prank. The question is who is the one playing the prank and on whom Question. I am beginning to feel bad for Sandra, the stress of planning the whole thing has started showing, she now believes BTG is her GMAT Diary Razz .

Hah!

I think we just need to pick a day and time and place and as many people as can attend will do so.

How's Thursday at lunchtime?

I will be there on Thursday! Just name the place and time.
I will initiate - how about noon with a meet-up point at the Second Cup, next to Kaplan's offices. Ah?

@Gabriel: HAHA! But you know... I oughta admit I was crazy long before I even started this arduous GMAT journey. Cool
