I wanted to get a 650 in order to get into a pt program, my aunt said that she browsed through material in a month, took the test and received a 650. I thought, if i g...

Can admissions see your application before you submit?

I just recently started an application, but have not submitted it. However I received an email the other day stating " I saw that you began an application. Given the amount post grad experience..." Does this mean that admissions can see what you enter prior to the submission of the applica...

Yes, I'm also writing down flashcards, and it's quite intense. I read it this past January when i was taking a PR class, some of the topics stuck, but not nearly enough. This is my second stint reading it, and I'm hoping to commit a decent amount of this book to memory before I start the mgmat prep ...
