Oh yeah, thanks for catching that Rich. Forgot to mention that I got into Stanford GSB, which of course I'm suuuuuper excited about!
To provide a bit more context on my experience. I really wasn't seeing improvement by just studying OG materials on my own and taking Manhattan GMAT CATs. I had hit a wall. The structure of the EMPOWERgmat program was very helpful. But even more helpful than the structure was the content. I think what really helped me was all the strategy and psychological coaching in addition to the nuts and bolts of the various question types. I wasn't getting that anywhere else. It really helped me to focus on areas that made a difference to my score. And to get myself mentally ready for the big day. And the big day went extremely well, just like Rich said it would if I just followed the principles taught in the course. Still a bit shocked at how well it went, months later. But I just trusted that by sticking to the fundamentals of the course things would work out. I stayed calm and assassinated.
And now I'm going to Stanford! Yeeeeaaahhhhh!
