Hi, I've been preparing for GMAT for a little over a month. I had taken a GMATPrep test (from MBA.com) about two months back just to assess the amount of preparation I would require for the exam. I had scored a 750 in that (50Q, 41V) although I had not attempted the AWA section then. In the last mon...

Thanks Tim. Although I do have a couple of things apart from my GMAT that can set my profile apart from the application pool - extra-curriculars, good acads etc., (maybe I could email you a brief description of my profile so you could have a better idea) the reason I'm hoping for a 750 is because In...

Also, how much of a difference does a 760 vs a 720 make? Difficult to quantify obviously, but would it be significant? Does it increase one's chances of being shortlisted/admitted given that the-bshcools do like to maintain their 720 medians at the end of it

I also marked B. But I did feel "have led to the construction" was a bit out of place... I was basically confused between this and A where the sentence said "led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate..." and i chose the former as A seemed more awkward. Think...

Hi, I encountered this problem in my GMATPrep test- Data sufficiency: In the xy-plane does the line with equation y = 3x + 2 contain (r,s) 1. (3r + 2 - s)(4r + 9 - s) = 0 2. (4r - 6 - s)(3r + 2 - s) = 0 I answered - Both individually sufficient. The way i approached it was- replaced (r,s) in the req...

Oh right.. ofcourse.. never ignore the other bracket.. thanks for the solution. Much appreciated.

Precisely the reason I ruled it out too. There was no mention of a business plan anywhere in the passage

I just took my GMAT today and scored 760 (Q51 V41), and I'm very pleased with how it panned out. My sincerest thanks to the MGMAT staff for helping solve queries during my preparation in the last few weeks. The MGMAT books, the tests and these forums are excellent resources for preparation. Thanks T...

Hi, I'm a prospective applicant for a 2-year MBA starting Fall 2011. I was hoping to get your inputs on what my chances are at the top 10 bschools (specifically H/S/W, Berkeley, Kellogg, MIT), and what do you make of my candidacy to these top programs. Details of my profile are mentioned below. 24/M...

Thanks much Daniel for your thoughts... I was wondering if I can leverage my extracurricular activities from college in my applications since I have a lot of good quality leadership experience while in college. Only issue is, it has been two years since I graduated, and my college extracurriculars g...

Thanks Daniel... appreciate your thoughts. I think I understand your point about using post college extracurriculars as far as possible... also, Stanford, MIT etc. talk about using experiences only in the last 3 years for essays... considering my work experience is 2 years as of date, there is still...
