B-School Essays

[ykouchouk]

Stacy,

Thank you so much for all your insight and advice - it is much appreciated!

Quick question for you, I was wondering if you knew when B-schools posted their essay questions for the class of 2011? I'm sure it ranges by school, but any info you can proivde would be much appreciated as I'm trying to base when I sit for the GMAT on when the essays come out.

Many thanks in advance!

Dear YK:

Essay questions are generally released when applications become available for that entering class. For example, if you want to enter business school in fall 2009, then applications will be available starting in either June, July, or August 2008 depending on the school.

You can actually sit for the GMAT anytime you are ready. Your score is good for 5 years from the test date. So, there is no need to wait if you want to go ahead and schedule your test.

Good luck!
Lisa
