Knowing club members - Introduce Yourself here

Hi all,

I have been around here for few months but never noticed this thread

28 male, Malaysian Chinese.
Got a Bachelor of Science in Physics. Currently wrapping up my thesis for PhD in Physics. So, yes, I am a physicist.

I wish to switch my path to finance as many other physicists did, so I got to get this GMAT done.


Nice to meet u all!

Greetings all,

My name is Cem. I live in Istanbul/Turkey and work for Deloitte. I have been here for almost two years now, and I want to do my MBA to get my career shifting a bit more to the Investment Banking sector.

My undergrad is from Bilkent University, Department of Economics.

I want to study in a financially strong city, which is New York City or London.

Thus; I want to enroll to NYU, LSB, City University, Imperial College, or Fordham University.

My first two choices are NYU and LSB of course. Hopefully with a decent GMAT score, these schools might not be just dreams.

Oh, and hi!

Hi and welcome to u, standard

U have found the place that, at least, will help u reach your dreamt schools ... Good luck in your quest !

My name is Julie and I just graduated with my B.Mus.

I wrote the GMAT this morning after studying for a month and was disappointed with a low score. I am sad to say that I have just discovered this website! In any case I will be rewriting. Can anyone answer some questions for me please:

Do you have to rewrite in 31 days?

If the answer is yes- what approach do you reccomend for a quick review?

I have been using the ARCO2005 study guide which I think was a mistake. Please help!

Hi!

My name is Seni, I'm from Barcelona, Spain. I am working as a packaging engineer in the consumer good industry. I've been working all around Europe (Italy, Belgium, France, UK...) and now I am in my home town, Barcelona.

I am planning to apply to an MBA in the US next year.

I took the GMAT two weeks ago for the first time and scored 690, I am quite happy with the result but I am thinking about repeating it, not sure yet.

Thanks for the forum, is really helpful!!

Hello to all of you who took the test and scored lower than you should have. Perhaps you just didn't have the right teachers. Check out the review of GMAX Online here at the GMAT Club, and see what type of teaching is offered. Then go to the website and look at the overview ("see what you're getting") and you'll understand why so many students crack the 700 ceiling with GMAX Online.
The best of luck with your studies,

Hi all,

I am a 29 guy working in Singapore as a Research Analyst in a London-based market research firm.

Having graduated with at best an above average degree, I am planning to live and breath GMAT for the next 3-4 months and hit 750.

I know it ain't easy, but I have always aspired to work in the top consulting firms, so with my current background, only a top business school will help me achieve my ambition.

I am aiming for INSEAD.

Looking forward to meeting everybody here for the next 3-4 months.

Hi all - I should give you my background

British male, 28 years old.

Degree in Economics from Edinburgh (1st class), where I also tutored 1st and 2nd year economics for a while. GPA if worked out is a bit low through medical reasons (optional essay here we go...)

Since then I have worked in two of the Top 5 UK Banking institutions, and am currently at Associate level managing risk for a whole business area.

For my age, progress to a level above would be tricky right now, so I want to take the opportunity for an MBA to strengthen my opportunities in the future to be able to move through to MD level and above.

Hello people

Its great to be on this site and to be able to share and learn so much from all of you.
I've been in the US for a little over 5 yrs now.
MS in computer science and working for an IT consulting firm based out of Cleveland.
My goal for the next one month is to get 750+ in the GMAT. And then Harvard...

I have been preparing for about 2 months. And will try to give it in a month.
This GMAT club has been really helpful.
Wish all of you the best in whatever you guys aim for.
And pls wish me the same

Regards
Rishi...

Hi Everyone!

My name is Kevin M. I took the GMAT once with little prep and got 650. 67per.-Quant, 85 per.-Verb. I'm taking the GMAT again, aiming for a 750. So far, I'm using Cracking the GMAT by P/R, GMAT 800 by Kaplan, and about to buy the OG11.

I'm a college Senior at CSUN. Interned with Ernst & Young, Warner Brothers, and have had a part time job at an accounting firm since early 2005 to pay for school. I have a 3.7 GPA cum, and Accounting.

I'm appying to HBS in rd. 3 because they waive the app. fee. What do you guys think? (assuming 700+ score acheived)

Hello,

My name is Chris and I am a 34 year old male working in the IT industry for 8 years. After dealing with a company who has promoted more relatives than people with degrees, I've decided to get my MBA not only to advance my career, but enable options. I also feel that part of the reason is to sate my ego and set an example for my family.

I do plan on going to UCLA, USC, or Berkeley as my top choices.

I am currently planning the GMAT sometime in April. I want to really get all the substance and content in addition to a plethora of practice tests. My biggest hurdle in achieving this is maintaing the passion to study over such a long period of time, in addition to the psychological effects during the test.

I do feel it is very intimidating that on this site it appears that I'm against some of the brightest not only in the United States, but the world. It's also very exciting as well. I'm also shooting for the 7's just like everyone else.

I do have a question for the moderators though, it seems like there are so many 90%+ percentile scores here; do the influx of such high scores raise the standard where soon a 730 will be 90%+?

Haas and Anderson are awesome top 20. USC Marshall, not so awesome. Also, in state tuition for the Haas and Anderson if youre a california resident. SC is way more.

Hi,

I am Asif and even though I came across gmat club when I initially started preperation for GMAT, I didnt consider it to be of much worth. But now realizing that time is less and my scores cant improve. I am resorting to learning from everyone elses valuable experience. I hope this forum can be as much help to me as I will be to the forum.

I plan to go to Canadian universities like McGill, UFT or HEC.
I have been working in the IT industry for rougly 3 years now and most recently with IBM for the last two.

Hi everyone,

I am a 28 year old male working in Germany for a REPE firm. This site was recommended to me by a friend who scored 750 on the GMAT and since I plan taking it this autumn it seems logic I stick around here and help/get helped when needed.
Date of admission: Perhaps autumn 2008 but most likely autumn 2009
Target school: Harvard

But for now, I will put all my energy and focus on the GMAT to see how realistic my chances are.
