Hello all,
Have any of the R2 applicants received any admit decisions ?
I believe the deadline was 31st march!

My question to candidates who have received an admit during R1/R2.

when did you get the decision on Financial Aid?( along with the decision email, with the surface mail , later .....)

please let the forum know about it. I am sure many people would be waiting anxiously to hear about it.

best regards,
:)

Hey how was ur GMAT. Mine is on 27th at bangalore. Any tips you would like to share. I am not clear about scratch paper.what kind of paper and pen they provide.Is there any watch given by them.

Hello mate.
The scartch pad is a set of plastic sheets.You get a marker or a sketch pen kind of a pen((3-4) so they r enuff..
The sheets are sufficient.If you need more, the test admin is prompt to provide more.

The bangalore center is near the manipal building...its actually the bhima jwellers building towards the right of the manipal center.Park your vehical at manipal and walk to the near by test center.(parking -->5 bucks an hour! )
you need to reach the third floor of the bhima jwellers buliding.that is the pearson test center.
yor are requested to read a set of instructions first..the usual privacy and realted stuff.
You are then asked to present your passport and the print out of the email which you receive after registration or the one which you took at the time of registration.
A mug shot is taken(photo graph) then a digital signature is required.and then a finger print.A locker is provided where in you are required to keep all your stuff..they do not allow you to take even a piece of paper.... so memorise the names of colleges where you wish to send your scores. You are required to select them before writing the test:wow:
There is a search tool you can take help of.type in the name of the college and it shows the multiple programs offered by that college.select the one which you a re intrested in.)
you are requested to keep the eatables (if you happen to bring any with you)out side the locker in a near by room.
you go near the test center. a finger print is taken and you are granted entry in the test room. the administrator sighs you in. and wallah the test begins!
The look and feel is pretty much the same as the GMAT prep and the instruction also are very very similar ...


They do not provide you with a watch ...but there is a stop clock in the right corner of the test screen the one like that in the gmat prep.

*******You have a 10 mins break after AWA and Quant now:)**********

The questions are pretty similar to OG11! :)
happy test writing.

I hope this helps:)

You need to select the schools from a drop down menu before the start of the test.

Or can i easily find them in the drop down box as mentioned above?

Hello friends,
I have some doubts....!
(i believe that gmac allows us to list five schools to which we want to send our official scores for free.)
the first one is ..do we need to give this list of five schools that we want to apply to . before writing the test or just after we get our unofficial score after the test?

second one.
some colleges mention on their website : " fees for the batch starting in august 2007"
does that fees include the fees for both the years or just the aug 07 to aug 2008 year?

its a little puzzeling for me!
please do reply.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I took a Kaplan CAT yesterday. I took a full length after quite some time. considering my abysmal performance in the 2 previous full length tests( one GMATPrep and one Princeton)
Kaplan Test Results :
Math : 44 Verbal: 36
Total Score: 640.
I know this is bad too, but i realised one thing in the process of taking the kaplan score. I had heard that kaplan was a bit tougher than the other CATs. Hence i was pepped up and took the test seriously. Now in hindsight, i realise that in the earlier 2 tests which i had not performed too well ( 630 in both of them), i was not serious enough.
Moral of the story: I need to take every CAT as though its my actual gmat test. I wonder how many of you share this problem.

offcourse kkwhacks.. you need to be serious..
this is not fun !
its your career at stake......and GMAT is one important part of the process, so take it seriously .you would be investing thousands of dollars in a bschool..and a good score leading to a good college might just be a life changing experience.
so fasten your seat belts and belt out your best on 4th.
ALL the very best . 640 is a good score and shows potential...

Hi Friends,

My G-Date is on 11th Aug. I went through the GMAT 800.This was way back in Apr.. then there was a break for 2 Months. Due to work and personal reasons. Just squeezing out time from the work and started preparing. After a week of preparation with Manhattan maths Turbo review.

I took the Princeton diagnostic test and scored a 580.
SC and RC accuracy - 50%
DS- 75%
PB- 85%

With hardly 25 days to go I am really wondering how far I can reach.

I am planning to cover all the questions in the OG and take up PP1,2 and GMATPrep1 and GMATprep2.


Please let me know your suggestions to tune the plan. Do you feel at this point any other materials will help.

hi mate ,
go thru ManH sc (manhatten SC) will definitely help you in SC.
OG is a good book.....do it once and then take ur tests..that should get you a good score and boost your confidence.
wish you all the best.
