Stacy,

I am an entrepreneur who recently decided that grad school was for me. Like many have suggested, I'm going to give myself a few months to really prepare for the GMATs. If I was to take the test in early April, and have an acceptable score, what would my options be at that point. Considering that most application deadlines are around April, would my earliest possible admission now be in the fall of 2008? Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Xandar

Hi Xandar,
I definitely suggest that you focus on Round 1 2007, which means you would submit apps in September/October of this year and begin school in Fall 2008. You could also apply to a program that starts in January (such as Columbia) or Summer (such as Kellogg), and finish within a year. Applying this April, right after the GMAT would be difficult.

Hi Stacy,

I'm in the same position as Xandar. I have 3 schools on my list and my top school's R2 isn't until May 07, which means I have a shot at getting my GMAT and apps done by then.

Should I try to stretch and make the R2 deadline? Because I figure, might as well just give it a shot and if I don't make it ..reapply with the rest of my schools for Fall 08.

If I do try to make it to my top choice this fall, will it hurt my chances when I re-apply again (assuming I didn't get in for fall 07)?

Thx,

Daniel

It's really hard to say without knowing more specifics...

"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."
