It really doesn't matter too much what you do. If you are nervous, don't say you are applying to schools better than the one you're filling out.

As far as I understand, you have to do it then. It's also tough because you have to choose before you even know your score

Yeah, I'm not sure that would be the best idea. You only have two years to be in business school, which isn't a whole lot of time to figure out exactly what you want to do. The admissions committee probably wants to ensure that a vast majority of their students will get jobs. That being said, nobody...

General Application Due Date Question
When a school says that their application is due 1/4/2012, does this mean I need to have it in my 11:59 pm on 1/3/2012 (i.e. before the listed due date)? Or do I need to make sure it is submitted at some point on 1/4/2012? If it's different for every school, does anybody have an idea where to find t...

I know you can get some discounts on app fees if you actually visit the school. I know Duke will drop $100 off if you schedule and attend a campus visit. Maryland will drop the entire fee if you visit. These are just a couple I've run into while looking at schools, definitely not a comprehensive list

Referencing statistics in essays
I am referencing one data point from a company's recent 10-K in one of my application essays. Do I need to provide a link to where I found this information at all, like I would if I were writing a research paper?

GMAC always refers to the GMAT as testing "higher order thinking." There was a good explanation as to what that is a couple weeks ago here on Beat the GMAT:

I spent very little time going over idioms. To me, learning the different idioms is a pure memorization exercise. The chances of a question coming down to an idiom difference that the test taker has happened to memorize is very small. Tried to budget my time to learning how to think how the test wan...

Thank you! For sentence correction, I really struggled to make any progress until I was able to really see them as logic puzzles. Instead of just looking at the differences between each answer choice, I would try to think what each difference implied. For example, if you see the word "evaluate&...

770 (50q, 44v), Definitely beat the GMAT
Long time lurker to these boards, proud to be able to post a quick debrief. To study, I used the 60-Day Study Guide offered on this site. The daily emails were an invaluable resource to keep making sure I practiced a little bit everyday. It's way too easy to get caught up in work or social obligatio...
