Experts' GlobalAny comments, feelings, advice to share?: Do not spend more than 3 months on preparing for GMAT and give it as early as possible because it would be difficult to manage application deadlines for multiple schools at a time. Give atleast 15 days to each application and write down concrete answers to some of the basic questions like why MBA and why now, why this school etc. before starting to apply. Do your due diligence regarding the school curriculum properly (gives you an edge in interviews at times).
