From 590 to the 700 Club (Q47/V40)
So I took the GMAT earlier today and scored a 700. Though I'm glad I made it over the 700 hurdle, I'd still like to do a retake and gain an additional 30 or so points. Reading posts here on BTG allowed me to see that I was making two big mistakes in A) not reviewing enough and B) waiting too long to...

Thanks tutorphd. I actually did complete several hundred problems during my prep; however, my mistakes were: 1) Waiting until too late to test my quant mettle under timed pressure 2) Not spending enough time to review my category to sharpened my instinctual response. I thought that because I did a t...

HELP NEEDED: GMAT Math - Cracking Under the Pressure
So more than likely I will end up needing a GMAT retake based on some disappointing sub 700 practice tests. What seems to be happening is that while taking the test under timed conditions I sometimes crack under the timed pressure and loose my ability to reason through simple problems that include t...

Thanks for clearing that up Stacey. I was plan on using 1) Boss 2) Former Client 3) Peer @ all 3.
How about:
HBS: 1) Boss 2) Current indirect manager OR Old Manager from previous company(>3 years ago) 3) Peer
GSB 1) Boss 2) Former Client 3) Peer

Hello Stacey, I was referring to the 3rd recommender. My impression was that a former business client would count as a "professional recommendation", hence it could count as one of the professional recommendations for both Harvard and Stanford. It also seems to me like a peer recommended w...

3rd Rec for HBS/GSB for an Entrepreneur
I'm looking to get an MBA to make a career change from full-time employee/part-time entrepreneur to full time entrepreneur within the same industry that I work in. When considering HBS and Stanford's 3rd essay, is it a smarter move to have that rec come from an actual client to show proven business ...
