wow thanks! great info! Mind if I ask your age when you were applying? Also, I'm really interested in your recommendations. For one, how did you know they were one of the major reasons why you got in? Did you get to read them after or get an idea of what they are about? I'd love to prep my recommend...

Jim, Thanks. Let me clarify, I'd like to go into corporate strategy later. I'd imagine that Booth and Kellogg have not only a better curriculum for strategy, but also better brand. Unfortunately, the network would not be as west coast based and I suppose that's why you suggest I stay in the west coa...

Bad Recommendation vs. Poor recommender choice
Folks, i'm stuck. My best source for a recommendation (direct manager for 7+ years), may not write me stellar recommendation. To be safe, it could even be less than average... I can skip this person and get a decent or good recommendation from someone that is not my manager, but plays somewhat of a ...

Finally, the part time programs are not required to report their GMAT stats to the rankings boards, so they can be more "forgiving" of things like GPA and test scores. I was not aware of this. However, if the part-time programs I'm looking at, such as booth, haas, kellog, etc. have their ...

Question in response to Stratus Prep Webinar 7/18/12
Hi, This was a really great webinar and this is one of my followup questions. In the webinar, 4 applicants were presented. All 4 had relatively low gmat scores, relatively low GPAs, average institutions and average work experience, but all were accepted into top 5 schools. I notice this type of &quo...

Jim, I have two concerns that maybe Stratus Prep has solutions for. My main concern is that I'm applying to the Haas EWMBA program and whether or not I'm wrong about this, it feels like this application is a different beast -- older applicants, more emphasis on work experience, etc. For instance, on...

Reviews of admissions consultants?
Is there a thread for previous happy/unhappy customers of all the admissions consultants?
gmatclub has one, but it has no information on many of the consultants I found here on beatthegmat, probably only the ones that sponsor gmatclub are on there.
thanks!

So this is a reflection on my past 8 months. It started slow, I took the GMAT in February of 2011 and got a 550. I studied for a weekend with a PR book and got a general feel of the test. I didn't start studying in earnest until June after I got back from campus visits, which added a good deal of m...
