Hello,
I'm a new member to Beat the GMAT and I'm looking forward to learning as I prepare to take the GMAT in late 2011. I'm transitioning from a 10 year career in the non-profit arts to the private sector. I have a BS in management and a minor in accounting with some graduate coursework in arts administration.
Preparing for the GMAT will be a challenge, since I barely remember any math concepts and advance grammar. However, I did extremely well in math in HS and college, so I have the aptitude to learn. I do feel like I'm starting from scratch and will probably take a refresher course. I have yet to take a practice exam. I'm too afraid to see how low my score will be at this point and I would prefer to familiarize myself with the test first.
In terms of MBA programs, I'm based in Seattle and I'm only applying to the UW evening program and the PT- MBA at Seattle University. The average GMAT scores for their MBA students are below 700. So, don't need a super high score to get accepted.
As a result, I'm seeking advice from members on study plans and courses appropriate for those that need a serious refresher and not necessarily seeking to be in the 700's. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best,
Denee
