670 (48 34) Did it in my own way!

Gentlemen

In my way I finally beat the gmat!

My Advice: 1st Quality then Quantity

I am international and tried everything from Pincenton to Kaplan, Manhatan, and so on but none of them was good enough for Verbal.

In general, Admissions can´t evaluate you in depth so they use Gmat as first and most important filter -although they never say this-, then business experience, gpa and community service.

If you want to go to Harvard or Stanford in general you must be very young too. These universities are increasingly admitting a lot of guys with less than 2 yrs of experience ( Believe me, I was there!) Harvard also interviews people who are in the top 5 % of college.

All the best to all and thanks to this great community for everything, ( Logitech, Dana J, Stacy, Ivan, and son on) and remember NEVER GIVE UP!

Don´t forget to hire an experienced tutor. Below 650 don´t waste time applying to top 15 business school unless you are the son of Warren Buffet!
You should never put a score on yourself... let the school take that decision, NOT you!! Instead you should encourage people to give it a try!

Eric wrote a nice article today about this same stuff!
