Thanks for the link, very nice!
But what if the school is not willing to accept any additional materials or updates? what can you do then? Do you know which schools are more open to such updates and which aren't?

If they aren't willing to take additional materials, all you can do is wait, or tell them you're heading in another direction if you decide on another program. Each school will have its own policy which will either be on their website or in their waitlist letter to you on whether they'll let you send new info or not. Wharton is a notable school that won't take anything new. Other schools like Booth have been willing to accept such info if you believe that it can help you.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
