Where are looking to go? With a 750 you should be a juggernaut for almost any program you want.


I am not applying this year so haven't yet quite decided about the schools. Yes, it feels great to have a 750 but the GMAT score beyond a point doesn't matter much at the top schools. I think that anything about 710+ is good enough.After that it doesn't matter much to the schools until and unless they are tier two schools who give huge financial aid to candidates with good GMAT scores, but I won't be applying to these schools, so doesn't make much difference to me. My focus for the next one year is going to be on improving my profile. If I can do that, then surely no school is difficult to get through. :)

Congratulations on the great score. How many bold face questions did you see in CR because I am really scared of these types of questions ?

I saw 2 Bold face CR I think. The questions were difficult but when I saw them what I was relieved about is that I was doing well because these kind of questions appear usually in the 700+ category.

I think that their New SC Questionbank is good. The focus is on meaning type of questions which are being tested quite often now. Though not all the questions are difficult, but I think that it'd be worth doing the questions in terms of the learning you'll derive from them

Thank you. I think that bb is the great motivator for all of us here. :) It's because of him that we have such a great forum. Don't worry too much about the profile. Just think about ways of distinguishing yourself from rest of the folks and you should be there! :)

How did you prepare for the AWA ? Did you write the essays while taking practice tests or you skipped them ?

I think that chineseburned AWA guide is the best resource for preparing for the AWA. I have written 3-4 essays so far and used the template and it was pretty helpful.
