Thanks for all the replies. I gave it a thought, and I don't actually agree that it is tech (industry). Here's why: Accenture clearly calls itself consulting company, but they mostly do IT consulting. The same is true about IBM Global Services. And HP. Also, I have seen a number of profiles of curre...

Thank you all for your replies. But it's still not to me whether you should indicate consulting or technological industry when filling out an application?

I had the admissions process in mind: whether they put everyone in one group, or whether they compare people from management consulting with their peers, and people from IT consulting with their peers (which I think would make more sense).

Consultancy vs IT Consultancy vs management consultancy
Do schools make a distinction between management consultancy and IT consultancy? Because obviously you have McKinsey and BCG on the one hand, and on the other hand you have HP, Accenture and IBM. Is there a place in the application where you can make a distinction between these two fields which are ...

Writing tips/templates
Well, actually I mean one example per paragraph (but several sentences devoted to one example).

Writing tips/templates
Dana, thank you. I got the drift. Although in general I'm not a big fan of citations, it's really not worth learning these to insert in essays and most of the time they don't actually add value. I mean citations that come to mind naturally. I don't learn citations on purpose either. But sometimes wh...

Dana, thanks for your thorough reply. Everything's clear.
So should I just perhaps ignore a bolded sentence all together and select those answers that are main points of a passage?

Dana, what do you think is better:
- to support your position by providing examples from personal experience or experience of others
OR
- to develop your point by logical reasoning, writing citations, and talking about general things related to the topic
OR
- both

OG 3rd edition: p. 241 (Democratic and Whig parties) Q13: The political system of the United States in the mid-nineteenth century was strongly influenced by the social and economic circumstances of the time. I don't quite agree that this is an accurate formulation of the summary thesis. (1) Although...

Dana, thank you for your reply. I was talking about summary questions for the reading part of the test. I guess the question will ask the same thing: to provide the summary. I asked this question because the role of the topic sentence (i.e., the bold sentence to which you match your answers) is not ...

Summary questions in the Reading section
Could someone please explain whether the sentence that is provided as a summary to which we have to match corresponding answers from the list (reading summary question type) should be taken as a thesis and the correct answers as supporting evidence for that very thesis?
