Unfortunately, I haven't ever been to the campus, but I was thinking about applying there. It seems like Thunderbird, U. of South Carolina, and Wharton are always the top 3 for International Business. Thunderbird is built on an old military base that was sold to a former General after World War II (...

Thanks for the suggestions. No, I don't have that book. I'll probably try to skim through it at my local Barnes & Noble. I am planning to ask about the culture of the school, living arrangements, specific scholarship opportunities, average class size, etc.

Good questions to ask at an MBA fair?

I'm going to an MBA Fair on Saturday and I was wondering if anyone had any particularly insightful questions that would be good to ask the Business School representatives? This Fair is pretty important for me, since I won't have a chance to visit the B-Schools in-person before I apply. I appreciate ...

In case you wondering, yeah, I forgot to sign in for my last post. I got my Official Score Report today and I ended up with a 5.0 on the AWA essays. Good enough for me!

Help me choose a certification program!?

Before I get my MBA, I am trying to take advantage of all of the perks that my job offers. Presently, my employer pays for a free certification, regardless of whether it relates to my job. Can anyone suggest a certification program that would be useful in the future and not too difficult? I would pr...

I can't provide you with a specific grammer rule as to why. It just seems that 'about' and 'equivalent/equal' don't fit together. It's either equivalent or i...

GMAT Prep question

I can't figure this one out for the life of me. Thanks a lot!

(1/5)^m x (1/4)^18 = 1 / (2 x (10^35))

The answer is m=35, but I don't understand how to get there.

Adding words to a sentence in SC?

The reason that certain spicy foods, such as the Habanero pepper, makes some people sweat is because they contain a chemical that stimulates the same nerve endings in the mouth as does a rise in temperature; this stimulation sometimes results in the activation of certain biological cooling mechanis...

Thanks for your response. That's what I meant.

First red, then green 15/56
First green, then red 15/56

Either red or green, then the opposite color 30/56.

Probability

I just want to make sure that I understand this concept correctly. Please let me know if the following is correct. There are 3 green balls and 5 red balls in a bag. The probability of choosing a ball of one color, then a ball of another color would be 3/8 x 5/7 = 15/56 (around 25%) The probability o...
