Name Brand or Perfect Fit for B - School
So...just when I thought I had it all figured out, my B-School decision was turned on its head.

To be very specific, I am toiling between Georgetown (McDonough) or American (Kogod...

Your score report will only show your test performance(s). You can reschedule your test all you want but it costs $50 each time.

RadiumBall - The first question is the standard "purpose" essay that almost all schools require. As with any essay, the hardest part is just getting SOMETHING on paper. Brainstorm. With a pencil and paper, write down things that you would like to do with your life. They don't have to be se...

First off.... don't feel so bad. Many posts on this board may lead you to believe a 720 is an average score. I think that the rest of us who struggle to hit 600+ just don't go on and on about it. I can promise that you will never see a post from me like "awww..... I only got a 740 on my GMAT......

Because I have seen many of the questions, I know the answers already, so my scores become inflated. Should I avoid GMAT Prep tests and stick with Manhattan...
