I didn’t want to be doing essays and GMAT study at the same time, but things don’t always work out as planned. This year, I’m planning to apply to six different schools. This is up from five because I got worried about the competition this year and decided to apply to Michigan as well. In … Read more

Now that I’m approximately 60 days away from the big day, it’s a good time to reflect on everything I’ve done thus far and make adjustments where needed. I’ve read blogs, reviewed forums, and taken two practice CATs thus far. I’ve also completed six weeks of the Manhattan GMAT Online Live Course.
