I am curious to hear the consultants take on Stanford's question on choosing 20 words to describe yourself. What kinds of answers would differentiate yourself? Options I see are a list of adjectives, a cohesive sentence, e.t.c.

Be specific with this question, not generic. By virtue of looking for best words to use you are somewhat barking up the wrong tree. Get creative here.

I agree with Jim above. But besides being specific, work REALLY hard on getting the text to be original/beautiful/interesting.

These 20 words can be your "hook". They are gonna get THOUSANDS of these texts, and lots of them will sound the same. If your text can shake them up "Hey, we've never seen this before!" then you are doing a good job.

"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."
