NYU Langone Application

So I submitted my application to NYU's part-time Langone program yesterday. Anyone else apply? NYU's website says initial notifications are sent by August 1st. That seems pretty late, as if they posted 8/1 as the absolute latest date you can expect notification. Does anyone know if notifications are...

Rationalizing Denominators

Hi everyone, I'm not so good at simplifying complicated expressions. I see the the OG 12th Edition makes a few references to the method of "rationalizing the denominator". An example of this is OG Problem Solving #117, answer explanation on pg. 223: #117) If n is positive, which of the fol...

It's comforting to learn that through your research you've confirmed that GMATPrep Tests are the most valid. At least we know which scores we can trust. Too bad GMATPrep only offers two practice tests... I got the 730 (Q45/V45) on Manhattan GMAT's free CAT. It's interesting to hear that you believe ...

sputnik, I feel your pain. I'm on the 60 Day SG and my scores are all over the place. I'm talking 730 down to 560, in that order. I de-railed from the guide a while back because I lost study days in the midst of a family emergency. Since I'm already off-track and the 60 days have elapsed, I'm switch...

I know that I still have the Verbal section coming, but I need to revisit Math because something didn't sink-in. Any ideas on how to revisit Math more effectively this time? Here's a thought: I've rea...
