Where are you located? It's good being here but I don't really take advantage of what NYU and Columbia have to offer. Well I guess NYU I do because I have friends that go there, but not Columbia. I would love to get out of the city though. I'm kinda over it and would love to live elsewhere.

Don't be envious of me! I envy you for having such a high Q score! re: the GMAT, I'm just being honest so that when you take the exam you're not thrown off. Once you get distracted or flustered it's hard to gain your composure again. You'll be fine though especially if you're worried about seeing a Prob&Comb problem wrapped into 1 question haha. That means that you've got the rest under your belt. Keep at it though!

Do you have an exam date set yet?
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I am in Az, and I haven't visited any of these Top 15 schools (which is what I am aiming for) yet. And I am not sure how many I'll be able to either. Columbia interests me because of their Early Decision Round, but I'd really like to visit the campus first and be sure that's where I want to go. Cornell is good for their Accelerated MBA program. My ideal choice is probably UCB though, since its closer to home.
Which schools are you looking at?
My Quant score is good, but my verbal sucks - I am barely at 32 right now, but I have been practicing lately so I am hoping to pull it to at least 36. Fingers crossed!
My exam date is the 25th of this mth.
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
