Great to hear that. I'm applying to Stanford, Wharton and Kellogg in R1. Haven't decided about the schools for R2 yet. How about you ?

GMAT Score:760

Congratulations on the great score! I hope you get through the schools you have applied. One word of caution though is that don't take the essays and the rest of the application process lightly just because you have a great score. I did that mistake to some extent last year and got dinged at my first two choices so work on your application well.

Thanks Rishi for the advice. I understand that GMAT is not the only factor. Are you applying this year to schools ?

Awesome score. A 46 on Verbal is definitely huge. Can you elaborate on how you divided your time in a week and how many hours did you put in per week ?

I usually kept MTWT for Verbal as this is the area I needed to focus on more and kept FS for Math as Math can quite naturally to me. Sundays used to be off for me.

Isn't 4 days for Verbal and only 2 days for Maths lopsided? I'm good at Math too but not sure whether I'll be able to achieve 50+ by studying Math for only 2 days a week.

Congratulations on a great score!

If you don't mind, could you tell me what the percentile number was for V-46? Thanks!
