Strategize!
Ok guys, here's what I did. Lol maybe I shouldn't have picked a username that's my FIRST NAME, since there goes all anonymity haha. I applied to Tuck (darmouth), Columbia, Tulane, Rice, and Cornell. But please keep in mind that I applied VERY LATE--at or after the last dead lines for all of these sc...

Got into Cornell Johnson with GMAT 610...don't lose hope
I was waitlisted at Cornell Johnson with my 610 GMAT, and had been studying to retake it. But I got the call yesterday and got in, so I don't have to... Now I don't want to give you any kind of false hope. I had a VERY unique application, and I did a lot of original things to try to stand out from e...

Totally UNIQUE application. How do I seal the deal?
So it seemed laughable for me to even apply to top business schools. My GPA was a 3.2, and blemished with several D's and F's. My GMAT a 610--the quant on only the 48th percentile. But I did, and got into two 2nd tier schools, and am now waitlisted at my top choice: Cornell. I have been enamored by ...

Need to get up quant score in 6 weeks. Advice??
Ok, so I took the GMAT back in Dec without studying at all and got a 600. My English was on the 95th percentile, my quant on the 30th. I went to terrible high schools and avoided math in college. I studied up on my own and retook it. My score only went up 10 points, and I was devastated. My verbal s...

What if I do my own recommendations?
Ok--I HAVE great recommendations. The problem is, I'm applying to several schools and I keep having to pester them to take time out of their busy schedules to fill out YET another evaluation form for me. Do you think its ok for me to, with their consent, just do the evaluations myself if they send m...

Thanks Eric, for your vote of confidence. Like I said, it's too late to retake in time to make these deadlines, so I'm going to go with what I've got. My grades are decent but not great, but I worked 3 jobs through all of college. I worked a full time marketing job while starting my own company and ...

Ass handed to me by GMAT.....not giving up (610). Advice?
I got a 600 on my gmat the first time, several months ago. I took it without any prep. I was going to attend a really average mba program at the time, since my dad works there and I get free tuition. But a few weeks into the classes, I realized I was selling myself short, and that the free tuition w...

Questions from official GMAT REVIEW--help--GMAT TOMORROW!
Hi guys--two more I couldn't figure out. 144. If n is a positive integer, is (1/10)^n <less> 2 (2) (1/10)^n-1 <0.1 The answer is D. But I do not understand how part 2 in itself is sufficient. N could be 0 or 1, in which case the term would not be < 0.1. But if it was 3 or greater, then it would be <...

GMAT NOT THE BIGGEST FACTOR--CHECK THIS OUT
Some advice.. A friend of mine got a 750 on his GMAT. He is definitely very intelligent. He applied to several top programs, and even got interviews to many of them, but in the end was rejected by every single one. What I'd like to point out here is that the GMAT is not everything. He said that he p...

Ok here is the question: If p is the perimeter of rectangle O, what is the value of p? (1) Each daigonal of rectangle Q has length 10. (2) The area of rectangle Q is 48. So, it is given that it is a rectangle, therefore it cannot be a 45-45-90. And it definitely WILL be a right triangle. This being ...

OFFICIAL GMAT REVIEW 11th Edition Question
On page 64, number 48: The data sufficiency question explanation states that answer C is the answer. But why isn't answer A the answer? The diagonal is 10, and it divides the rectangle into 2 right triangles. So doesn't this become a 3-4-5 triangle? In this case, the measurements are 6-8-10. The sol...
