Thanks to BTGMAT and a (quite) a few hours behind OG, Kaplan etc I scored a 680, which was enough to get me into my school of choice.

The GMAT is done, the essays and app are done, the interviews went well and I've been informed that I'm in. BUT NOW WHAT? I feel like a dog that's caught the car...

Its been 7 years since university so I'm checking out strategies and technologies that might be able to help me. Cornell note taking, Getting things done, MS One NOte, smart phone...

Any other suggestions? (No need for me to do a quants course at this stage)

Congrats - don't worry too much about it. Enjoy your success for a while. No point in being over eager.

School has not changed much. Lots of reading, hard work and class discussions cannot be replaced by any technologies. As long as you have a laptop you will be fine.

Congratulations again

I'm in my 20s and have the buzz on all of the latest stuff that you need for your MBA.

The word on the street has it that you absolutely cannot survive without an SCTD. Without it, you will not be able to get any work done on time or be able to participate in all of the student clubs. SCTD, or strategic classroom teleportation devise, will provide you with the ultimate ubiquitous experience...

On a serious note, I think that a cell phone and a laptop will be the only tools you'll need. Any software and other programs will probably be incorporated as part of your courses. Also, don't forget, there are hundreds of workshops available for students to pick up on some new tech skills. Use them!

"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."
