Thank you Stacey and SoCalMBA! After much deliberation, I have decided to apply to the following programs: Wharton, Duke and Columbia. Although I loved Kellogg's program, I just can't imagine flying to Chicago every saturday for nearly 3 years! Same issue with Booth. I'll post back on what happens.....

Hi Stacey, Thank you so much for your timely response! I will definitely look into the Berkeley-Columbia EMBA program. I was wondering one thing about the avg. GMAT scores for part-time programs. From all the stats I have seen, these tend to be lower for part-time programs vs. full-time programs. Fo...

Thanks @lajohnson2200: I hear you. It will be really difficult to motivate myself to get myself to study for GMAT again. Especially with all the application deadlines fast approaching, I think it will be a really tough call. @Random Wok: Thanks for shining some light on the arcane GMAT algorithm. It...

Great score rkanthilal. I recently scored 47Q / 40V and ended up with a 710. I was wondering, do you remember how many questions you got right in your verbal section from your GMAT prep tests to get a score of 44 / 45? I am trying to see if I can improve on my verbal to get to a score of 44 / 45. Wh...

@Random Wok: Thanks for your reply. I do feel that if I prepare for 20 - 30 days more, I can certainly improve (at least a bit) in both the sections. One of the main concerns I have about the verbal section is that, when I scored a 40 on GMATprep, I had only made 6 mistakes in total. i.e., I had 35 ...

beat or no beat? 710 - 47Q/40V (92%)
Just took the GMAT and I feel like I came up just a bit short of what I wanted to achieve. I studied on and off for over 6 months, but only started seriously studying about a month ago. I have an engineering background, so I thought I was pretty good at quant and focused most of my energy on improvi...

I chose C. I agree with ov25's and e-gmat's explanations.
- "But" should contrast 2 sentence elements, here there's no contrast whatsoever.
- Whose is correctly modifying offenders.

I'd go with [C] too. What is the original source of the question? "Smoking habit" could be any habit that is smoking 
You get my drift.. the habit of smoking makes more sense.

indicates is a reporting verb, that is usually followed by a "that". In this case, what indicate(s) the development of a Harappan writing system? Excavators or the discovery? In fact, it is the latter. Among C,D and E: C: Has incorrect pronoun usage (their has no antecedent) D: Is missing ...

I like the explanation by rishab1988. I'd go with too. "three years" is time, so it should be less than three years.

IMO, is the only one with the right sub-verb agreement. The exploding popularity of ..., has generated.. Although, I feel like the noun reference is missing in the last part of the sentence. Ideally, the second part of the sentence should read "has generated a huge cottage industry to satisfy t...

IMO, it is because it is concise. The part after ";" is understood to be a continuation of thought from the part before ";". In E, "the reasonis that" is just redundant.
