Below is a link to an excellent article by Clear Admit about the importance of extracurricular volunteer activities to the b-school application process - and how to best leverage such experiences.

Has anyone read a similarly informative article recently?

Thank you,

FYI: I just read a great article by MBA Mission titled, "Long-Term Planning for Your MBA." In it they discuss how you can incorporate volunteerism / community leadership into your one-year application plan.

Here is a link to an excellent article by Stacy Blackman titled, "Why you should feature community service in your application essays." It outlines three strong reasons why pre-MBAs should get involved in community service. It also provides a sample essay that illustrates how such experiences can be leveraged in the application process.

"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."
