Should you put activities that could be controversial in app
Hi everyone! I have volunteered as a canvasser for Obama and as a phone banker for Kerry. Should I include this in the activities/achievements section? On the one hand, it shows my commitment to activism and my community, but on the other, it could be politically charged, and given that I did my und...

How to compare MBA admissions consultants' hourly packages?
Hi Stacy, What should I look for in an admissions consultant if I need very specific help in a narrow area? I have a limited budget and want just a few hours of consulting to help me solidify my "story" before writing my essays. I'm a very good writer, so I'm fairly confident I'll be able ...

When to apply?
Hi Consultants! I plan to apply during the first "round" for Columbia, which closes on January 7th, 2010. My question is: Is there any advantage to sending my application in much before the deadline, since, according to the website, the review process doesn't even begin until the 7th? I am...

Thanks Linda and Jay for the advice! Thank you also for the reassurance that I should take the GMAT again. I would not be personally satisfied unless I did, but there are all these crazy rumors out there (even the GMAC itself says so!) that you should try to avoid taking it again if you can, so I wa...

Just took the GMAT -now how do I improve for next time?
I just got a 680 (Q 37, V 46), but I wanted above a 700. I'm considering taking it again, but don't know where to start. I know I need to work on: - timing in the Quant - DS for yes or no questions - permutations/combinations - probability I did well on the verbal, but I could always do better! Any ...

Just took the GMAT, got a 680, what next?
I just took the GMAT, my target was at least a 700, and I got a 680 (37Q, 46V). I want to go to Columbia, and I have a strong (3.85) GPA - do I take the GMAT again? If so, how long should I wait to re-take it? I don't plan to apply until next fall (2009) for admission in 2010. I really struggled wit...
