Thanks for your submissions, everyone--the deadline to submit has officially passed, and we will no longer be accepting applications.

The winners will be announced on this forum on May 20.

Now, we have a LOT of reading to do (50 applications received!).

This might be asking for a lot, but is it possible to get some feedback for our essays?

Hi Neo:

This question has been asked before--unfortunately, we won't be able to provide feedback: (1) the volume of applications is too high, and (2) there are some small legal issues with providing this kind of feedback.

Sorry!

Unfortunately, we can't disclose the criteria we're using to judge candidates. I can say that we do have a set of factors we look for in each applicant to judge merit.

Just curious, how many applications did you receive last year?

About 15--but then again, the prizes were worth about $300 total. Very different from this year.

We're making good progress on the applications. We've had to make some difficult choices to filter down our 50 applicants.

The results will be posted on this Forum before 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, May 20. Can't provide specifics other than that.

Thanks!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
