WHOA--I didn't see any disrespectful comments toward you on your 'I just Beat The GMAT' post! Have you been receiving any ill treatment from anyone in this community. If so, I apologies and I am deeply embarassed--this is definitely counter to the culture we have here.

You don't need to prove anything to anyone--I believe you, and more importantly YOU know that you were able to make this dramatic improvement!

All the best,

Eric

Ah, I just searched for your post on a different GMAT forum. I see that the other place is the source of the negative comments...

Just know that we are celebrating your achievements here at Beat The GMAT!

One thing they didnt copy was the courtesy you have shown me on this site. I just wanted to tell everyone my wonderful experience and to encourage others that they can do it too, and sometimes studying till you drop isn't the way.

Haha, no, we are not affiliated with the other GMAT community. We do however share the same discussion community software platform, so that's why our sites look similar. As you rightly had pointed out though, the culture here is distinct.

I've reviewed what the others have said about your post in this community, and I was relieved to find that folks have been nothing but appreciative about your insights.

My apologies though that you encountered some push back in the other communities. You were actually doing us the favor by taking the time to share your story--the Beat The GMAT community understands that and appreciates your achievement!

Good luck with the apps!
