Wonderful tips. My heart really jumped in joy to see you mentioning "Om mani padme hum" because that is also one of my favorite relaxing music. Really calms me down and helps me divert myself from the short term tensions,look beyond them and see the bigger picture

I knew that I had to get out of the job I am doing and really want to do an MBA. Once you know your goal and you have that desire, then half of the battle is won because y...

what was the level of CR in the exam.I find it difficult to solve tough CR esp in 2 mins. The CR questions on the GMAT were not easy but were quite similar to the ones you will encounter on GMATPREP.

Yes, even I agree with others. AWA scores don't matter much. It is a good way for the schools though to check whether you have written the application essays yourself or not so a low AWA score might be a dampener for them otherwise it is not going to matter much.

Congratulations powerpuff. Your perseverance paid off in the end. Did you see questions on idioms on the GMAT ?

Try to apply to some schools in abroad - you may get the scholarship. Or you can prepare a bit more and get a 760, which would ensure scholarship. Yes, that's there but the top tier schools abroad don't usually give loans. It's the second tier schools which dole out lavish scholarships. I need to r...
