Hey guys,

I am planning to take the gmat test in the next couple of months. I was also looking for individuals that are interested in forming a study group and tackling it together. I reside in Fremont but am open to travel.

Hey Shams (whatever ...
That should be cool - am giving my GMAT on March 24th. Am still trying hard to squeeze some study time into my schedule and have tasted very little success.
Why don't you PM me with what you have in mind ?
Maybe, we could work on some stuff together.
Btw, what's your profile?

Swetha good luck !! The books you wanted to borrow never did materialize but I don't think they would make a big diff.

Hello puys,
Its good to see this thread...
I am planning to give GMAT this july /august but still not started any preparation.
I have few queries for which I need all seniors help.....
At present I am working for a IT firm and have six months work experience.
1) Is the time of july/ august ok for me or is it too early to apply for GMAT.?
2) If I apply for fall session at what time will I get admissions in universities?(By what month I will be in US)
3) By the time of july(when I will give GMAT....hope so)I will have one year of experience and most of the top B schools will not accept my score.The work experience is counted by the time of application or when we get admissions in the universities......

4)while giving GMAT we can apply for 5 universities........ If after the GMAT i want to apply for same universities or may be other universities for spring session then what is the procedure?

Regards,
Rohit

While I think you should give your GMAT since you are thinking about it and could easily get some momentum going, applying for univs with 1 yr experience rules you out of the really good schools (in most cases)
Maybe another year later would be a good bet, but, depends on what you want out of the MBA.

Cheers,
Shiva.
