application review in exchange for a charity donation?
I remember seeing a post previously about a service started by a group of MBA students who'd review the applications if a donation is made to their preferred charity.
Can someone point me to the post and/or service?

Congrats! Man, I've slacking off for a bit since I got done with GMAT. I need to focus on the application again given so many people with high scores this year.
Best of luck!

osamakhan, Thanks for your reply. I do have the official score report that shows the matrix but i have question about how the two percentiles in Q and V total to a score 530. Is it an average of Q and V percentile ? That part is not stated in the score report. How do they come to a figure 530 or an...

In my perception, it wasn't that V scored differently. I felt the V questions were slightly different from what I was used to seeing on OG11. Instead of trying to narrow down the choice between 2, it seems like there was one clear choice all the time, so I actually thought it was easier in SC, which...

Way to dig up a thread from more than a year ago. (OP posted March 2007) Feels like the same kind of experience except there is no ScoreTop issue when OP posted. :? I think mental stamina might be an issue here if people do not practice the AWA + Q + V format, because by the time you reach V on the ...

The 800score is no longer accurate for this year. It seems like the score is off by 10, thus 49/44 on the 800score would have scored 770, but you only scored 760. Same with 50/44 (770 according to 800score). I scored 51/44 and score 770 instead of the 780 calculated by 800score. So your Q score will...

My experience: http://www.beatthegmat.com/experience-review-770-q51-v44-awa5-5-t17471.html I do speak English as my second language, and I didn't particularly think the verbal was much harder comparing to the practice.

regarding chocolate chip cookies: the sugar boost + some cocoa effect :) We can discuss the science of the food in detail, but I think it was more of a comfort factor and possible boost in confidence. I'd just recommend bringing something small that you can enjoy instead of focusing a particular foo...
