jmdma808, you are definitely an inspiration and a testimony. I am one of the religious people on here :) and my faith lies in being able to tell a story somewhat similar to yours one day. Many blessings in all of your endeavors.

jmdma808 thanks so much for posting your experience. I also took the GMAT a few days ago and got a 460, way below what I was hoping for since I had spent the last 2 months constantly studying and taking a class and believe I understand the material. As soon as I got home I re-registered to take the exam and look to do it in Jan. I have faith God will see me through but at this point I'm not sure what studying strategy to use since I must have over done it last time. I will take it one day at a time and like you, look forward to receiving my acceptance to a top 5 school even if my score isn't in the 700s for with God- ALL things are possible. Stay well

Thanks for your inspiring post! I scored a miserable 460 the first time around and will be taking the GMAT again in 10 days.

Again thank you for giving me hope and reassurance that it can and WILL be done!
