This Week's TOP 5 GMAT Forum Topics

• GMAT 780 (Q51; V46): A great GMAT score and a good history of what it took to get there (including some help from a GMAT prep course).
• The GMAT Math Book: From Number Theory to 3D Geometries, an invaluable compilation of math topics available to GMAT Club members. If you need a review, this is the post for you. An open GMAT Club project that has turned into an excellent resource.
• From 500 to 640 - feeling mediocre but gained new insights: A great debrief for a 140 point improvement on the GMAT test. Includes strategy, timing, materials used and overall takeaways on how to get an even better score next time!
• Cool GMAT Tools to Break the 700: If you haven't yet taken a look at all of the great tools available at the GMAT Club, here's your chance: a nice compilation of very handy tools to help crack the 700 barrier. Check out the iPhone app and the Flash Cards if nothing else!
• GMAT Club Member of the Month: We have a new group of members and a new tradition we are adding - the GMAT Club members of the month. Every month we'll pick about 10 people with the highest number of Kudos (what are Kudos?) for that month (for posts made that month or prior) and will award them the title of the Member of the Month.

This Week's TOP 5 MBA Forum Topics

• FT MBA Ranking 2012: The Financial Times releases their MBA school rankings with Stanford topping the list for the first time. What do you think of the FT rankings and are there better ones out there?
• A Job Promotion: A job promotion at work may materially impact an R2 application. How to (and should they) notify the schools of the change?
• Any good MBA schools in Germany?: A recent backpacking trip through Germany wooed a future MBA applicant to the "Land of Ideas". Any suggestions for an English-only-speaking applicant to German schools is greatly appreciated.
• The INSEAD MBA Guide: Everything you've ever wanted to know about INSEAD but were too afraid to ask. Including key GMAT Club forum threads, ranking statistics, application instructions and more!
• The 2011-2012 Zero Admit Club: For some, the application period has ended. For others it is virtually gone, since the deadline is very soon and no interview invites have been received. Let's share our profiles and thoughts what we have done and we could improve next application season.
