Welcome Joseph, thanks for making that intro! You've come to the right place too, we have a lot of resources here to help you get to that 700 score. Since you mentioned INSEAD as one of your top schools--you may want to take a look at the INSEAD MBA Watch page when you have a moment: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/school/insead/a/comments

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon,

Good Evening,

My name is Jamaal Hunt and I am currently a program specialist for a housing authority in MD. Right now I've made the big choice to change careers and obtain my MBA in accounting. A funny story happened to me while I was undergrad for Marketing. My Accounting professor noticed how well I was doing the courses and she asked me directly. "Would you be interested in changing your major, it seems you have a knack for this?" My exact line: "I dont want to crunch numbers for the rest of my life". Ironically, I currently do accounts payable and process transactions with a tax calculator for more than 3 years. :P

All jokes aside I really want to succeed and do very well. My GPA wasn't pretty in undergrad (less than 3.0). It is going to be tough and I am fully aware of this. So I must kick ass on this thing. I have no choice but to. I've read some of the strategies in preparing and practicing and I like the idea of getting up early to study before work and studying late after a workout.

Right now I have haven't started my research on schools yet. I do have a preference to stay locally in Maryland but if the opportunity knocks for me to attend one of the "premier" top schools. I wont say no at all.

As of now I have done alot of practicing math problems and suceeding very well thanks to a site called: khanacademy.org

That site is a great resource to get your math game down.

Anyway I'll be pretty much living in here posting alot so watch out. :D

Hi all

My name is Ama. I am a technical trainer (I train construction professionals on how to build more sustainably) working the the BRE in the UK. I have an honours degree in Environmental Management and am an Associate member of IEMA. I did not do as we'll first time round taking the GMAT with a score of 520, but I hope to improve on that next time.

I hope I did this intro thing well, I am not use to introducing myself in a forum. :? :?

Hi,

My name is shripriya. Moved to the US 6mnths ago and raring to get back to college. It's like getting back in action and achieving what I didn't earlier. Although i have a good 5yrs of work exp, my low UG gpa (like jamal's) compels me to beat-the-gmat and prove myself worthy of achieving whatever i want. It's tough studying w/o a tutor/coaching but i do hope this community keeps me occupied and gives me the classroom env i so so desire! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Lets do it!
