Wendy, Thank you much for the reply. I greatly appreciate it. Post-MBA I plan on continuing further with entrepreneur ventures. I do not really expect to take a traditional job. This is the reason I would apply now. If I wait two years, I may/will be too deep in my ventures to abandon them for B sch...

I believe the lowest amount of hours I worked was 35 per week. 2) The first company (clothing ...

Extremely unique situation, any insight appreciated!
So I am in a bit of a unique situation and am unsure how admissions will handle me. I have talked to one well known admissions consultant and he was unsure of what to suggest.

I have actually looked into this. At the top schools, it seems like they only accepted GRE to advanced degrees. Though, after looking at sample gre questions, it is way easier than the GMAT, especially if you are a "poet" type. The math seems also easier, unless you are not good at geometry.

I'd recommend you do anything that you want to. I mean let's face it, you have just been accepted to the most selective, elite, MBA program. You've made it regardless of what you do from here on it. Just survive and you are literally golden and untouchable.
Congrats, but quit bragging ha ha

This is insane. Unreal. Unbelievable. Wow. Under average to super elite GMAT ninja pro in 3 months. Let me ask you, why did you pass on the Manhattan guides? Did you already have a super strong Quant background? Take advanced math classes in the past?? Do you think it was a lack of knowledge the fir...
