Dear gmattester123, Congratulations on your admission offer! Your assessment of the advantage and disadvantage is accurate--that is the risk in telling the school. Most folks tend to keep it quiet and let the decision be about the merits of their application. At this point in the admissions cycle, ...

If I were you, I'd focus my attention on the OG. In the days leading up to your test, it's important to focus on official material, because its structure is pretty unique and hard to replicate.
