I keep shuttling for my job between mumbai and delhi round the year . I would be in mumbai ,my safe place ,away from boss (hence minus those watchful eyes and ears.U know he doesnt want me to write the exam !! ) .But i want to know if i write gmat before october , will that help ?
I dont want to miss deadlines for scholarship and admits at schools in canada and usa .
Please help your brethen !!

Hi august4:

If you are interested in taking advantages of scholarships, I think it would be best for you to apply to business schools in the first round (most b-schools accept first round apps during October). Try take your GMAT before October.

My recommendation would be to take the test in August--doing so will give you time to prepare some more if you have to take the test a second time, prior to submitting your apps.

Best of luck!

earlier is better,
go for round one. me too voting for august.

dear eric,
bad news.

why i am writing in some others post because i have the same question.
rather i am in a dilemma.

so the bad news is GMAC needs me to have a passport & i donot have one.
it will certainly take 2months for passport processing...................

i hv this sinking feeling now .......that i am ready with GMAT & will have to wait for no reason. sigh :!:

Do you need this passport because you don't have any other form of identification?

Sorry to hear about your situation, aim-wsc. If there is nothing you can do to speed up the processing, then keep reviewing your material and doing practice tests consistently. It's important that you stay fresh on your studies. Don't hesitate to repeat practice questions/tests that you have already done--I think you will find that you can learn a lot going through them a second time around.

Best of luck!

i hv some other priorities. & i m in no hurry.
