BOOM! I beat it! 730, first time

I'm applying this year in Round 2. Just took the GMAT. Killed it: 730 (49Q, 44V)

I studied like crazy. Bought the Kaplan book and flash cards at Barnes & Noble. Did every problem I could. Took all the free tests I could get my hands on. Took the 7 that came with Kaplan. Took the two that came with the GMAT registration last. Got a 750 and a 720 on those.

Study hard. You can do it!

Also, solidarity to all those applying in their 30's. If you had advice for those that are graying, post a comment.

congratulations, that's a great score. and if you normalize that by age, your score will likely scale up further!!! ;)
interesting that you did not mention OG's or MGMAT in your review...

Good luck on the business school application.

am in my early 30's too btw.
