Hi sindhuri. There are a lot of schools which accept less work ex. But then these are not really the schools you want to get into. Why are you in such a rush for your mba?

Ya sure: WHARTON INTERVIEW: My wharton interview was in Dubai. I could not book a slot in mumbai or new delhi. As expected it was all behavioral. It started with a normal chit chat with the interviewer. Then she asked me to walk me through my resume. Then she told me that we ll stick to the 30 mins ...

I had scored a 340 on my first MOCK before beginning my gmat prep. i.e. just 1 week after I got a hold of what gmat tests. Then studied for 3 months and scored a 680. Dont get tensed.
