Your welcome! Thought it was interesting, not sure how some schools just "implode" in 1 year. Oh well, I guess it helps sell magazinesbeatthegmat wrote:Thanks for sharing this!

I agree with Lisa. Identify your specific concentration and go from there. Overall rankings of a school maybe higher or lower than their rankings in a particular area. For instance, University of Minnesota (Carlson) is ranked 25 overall in U.S. News and World Reports, however its marketing program (...

Got Accepted to Carlson (University of Minnesota)
I am so happy! Got word today via email, should get my packet by Monday. I live in Texas, but have a brother that lives in Minneapolis, so this is great. I applied to Minnesota and Washington University in St.Louis. Have not heard from WUSL yet, so we will see. Both are fairly equal, but I think the...

Waived Application Fee
Should I take this as a good sign? It was from Washington University in St.Louis. WUSL wasn't one of the 5 schools that I sent my GMAT score to, but they contacted me because of that waiver at the end of the test. Is the waiver a big deal, or do some schools do that for everyone?

I had a phone interview with Carlson (University of Minnesota) today. My advice is simple. Know your resume, know some details of the school's program, and know what you want to do for a career...be specific. I knew my stuff pretty well and I think the interview went well. Just be confident and self...

Thank you Amy. One final question if you don't mind. How far should work experience go back? I went back to school when I was 30, and now 2 years later I am about to graduate, so I have no post bachelors work experience. The only reason I ask is that I am worried that my pizza delivery job when I wa...

Resume Question
I have just a couple of resume related questions.. 1) Should I include references, or I should I just say references upon request? 2) Is it appropriate to include a link to a website in a resume? I helped do research for a start-up company who is still in process of funding and the only proof is the...

630. Math killed me. 35Q (44%) , 41V (93%), overall 77% percentile. I think that was the worst I have done on any Math sections to date. I believe that was in part attributable to my lack of sleep I got the night before. Couldn't turn the old brain off. So my advice is definitely get a lot of rest p...

Taking the Test Today at 8am , will post score
Nervous as hell. Even though I studied for 3 months, I still feel uneasy. I guess a test as important as this will do that to you. Anyways, I will report back with score and experience.

I had a 3.00 from my Freshman and Sophomore year at Junior College where I got my Associates degree. I then transferred to University of Texas at Dallas where I have a 3.97 with 4 classes to go. Will Business Schools take the overall GPA or just the GPA of my Junior and Senior classes? Thanks for yo...

The meaning of "does"
Whenever the prompt asks "Does the value of X exceed 14? -Do you approach these type of questions the same way as "IS" questions? If the value for X (given stem 1) is x = 5 , is this a positive result and hence 1 by itself is correct? Or does X actually have to exceed 14. -I just made...
