All,
My pursuit for the MBA degree started on this wonderful forum started by the amazing Eric. Without a decent GMAT score on the GMAT, I would not have applied to and got admitted to one of the top programs in the world.

For this, I have to thank all the wonderful memebers on this forum!!

Special THANK YOUs to:

* Stacey (Manhattan GMAT - the ultimate source for the fantastic Grammar book)
* Lisa Anderson (Stacy Blackman Consulting for helping me with deciding on a school)
