I have beaten the GMAT - today I scored 730 (Q51, V 37). I have taken GMAT 3 times: 550 without any preparation, 670 with 6 months preparation and 730 with 9 months preparation. I scored 51 in Quantative and 37 in Verbal.
I don't plan to retake the GMAT.
Shortly about me....
I obtained BA degree with distinction (GPA 5.0 out of 5.0) at Russian Plekhanov Academy of Economics in June 2006. I also finished Master program (diploma with distinction, GPA 4.9 out of 5.0) at our Academy in July 2008 (part-time education).
Now I have 4 years of full-time work experience and hold an Associate position in one of the leading Russian investment banks. By the beginning of MBA program starting in September 2010, I will have 5 years of full-time work experience in investment banking.
I have already passed TOEFL test and scored 106 on the test (without any preparation). I don't know whether I need to retake TOEFL. I am aiming at INSEAD (minimum TOEFL is 105) and will submit my application at the first stage, before 30 september, 2009.
I am also involved in many extracurricular activities: scientific clubs, investment banking clubs and I constantly speak at conferences and round tables... While studying at my Academy, I participated in the activities of Student Scientific Community, growing from a regular member to Deputy Head. Currently I enjoy membership in Eurobond professionals club, a professional association working on the issues of international investment and Eurobond placement.
So it's the end of the GMAT story!
If you want to beat the GMAT, you will do it!!!
Good luck!
