First some background:
I'm currently an undergraduate Political Science major with a minor in Philosophy at RIT, taking 20 credits plus a one hour wellness course there next quarter and have been actively pursuing their 4+1 MBA program, but attempting to complete it in 4 years instead of 5. I have already completed all of my minor and major courses and all that's left are a few business classes. No matter what I get my BS in Poli Sci this may. I have a GPA of 3.77 and could graduate with honors if I add a little more work to three of my classes.
I've done spectacular in Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting, and all the other business classes I've taken so far.
My Problem:
The school requires a GMAT of 580 to get some scholarship money, and a 660 for the full 70% tuition and the scholarships are fairly competitive.
My problem is that I haven't really studied for the GMAT and want to enroll next fall. Should I throw myself into a self prescribed GMAT bootcamp on the weekends and what are some tips for maximizing my time?
I've already made myself an equation sheet for the math section of what I don't remember from high school, where I took 2 math classes a year voluntarily. I've also worked through the Manhattan arithmetic skills for the GMAT book. I have several dozen resources to study plus my entire school library.
I'm having trouble balancing school requirements and this is starting to weigh heavily on my mind.
Would it be best to set up a test date and cram until then or study until I feel prepared?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Also, should I even study the CR, RC, and SC sections? My program was rather writing intensive and I feel pretty confident about those sections.
TLDR: Doing well in school, haven't studied much want to enroll for Fall, need at least a 660.
