I am so sorry for hear that Liz. I am no expert, but it sounded like the decisions were final. You could always reapply early decision next year - I heard they really like re-applicants because it shows that you are committed. Also - did you use a consultant? If you decide to re-apply, I would high...

No problem Liz. I hope it was helpful. I thought it went well, but now I am starting to worry since it is week two and I haven’t heard back yet. I hope they can’t see how often I check my application status because they are going to think I am crazy :) Good luck on your interview tomorrow. I wo...

I think it went really well, so I hope to have more good news shortly - keeping my fingers crossed! As far as the interview we...

I cant exactly remember but i got i think 49 or 50 on Q and 39 on V for my kaplan practice test. The kaplan one is not very representative of the overall experience. Dont worry about it Brian, i figured something must have gone wrong coz you usually reply pretty quickly, if not instantly :) I am not...

Thank you guys! That calmed my nerves a bit :) I just did a kaplan free practice test and scored 650. Is Kaplan scores skewed to the downside of the scale? I would have thought i scored higher considering the maths wasnt so bad and i scored 40 on verbal. One more quick question. Data sufficiency que...

Hi Brian, Thank you so much for your suggestions! I am going to try them out tomorrow, hopefully shaking things up can help improve the scores a bit. I do usually get wrong answers from RC and sometimes CR, SC seems to be okay for me since is more about structure and rules. I find that i usually sta...

Hi Brian! Thanks for your previous posts! I felt much better after reading it. At the same time, I also feel very scared after reading what odannyboi and nehs posted. I am completely with you both regarding the frustration with practice tests and GMAT in general. This is my situation and i really co...
