Back Again [After 4 years]

Question

Hello everyone... 
I've been sitting on my score of 750 for 3-4 years. Yesterday, I decided that it was time to apply. 
So I'm back at the best place when it comes to all things "MBA"

Cheers!
Amrith AKA Entwistle

Hi Entwistle,

With your score, you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that you choose. Are you leaning towards any particular Schools/Programs? And are you planning to apply for Round 1 in the Fall?

Hi Rich:
Wow, a perfect GRE and GMAT score! Well done.

I am planning to apply for Round 1 of the fall intake. Currently I am on research mode; I haven't made up my mind yet regarding the colleges I want to apply to.

My areas of interest are as follows:

Concentration: Leadership, General Management, Marketing, Entrepreneurship

Industry: Education, Learning and Development, Training and Development, Human Potential/Performance Development

But first, I need to update my resume. Once that is done, I will post it for review and recommendations.

Cheers,
Entwistle

hi amrith ,
i think its time for a reunion of some of oldies of this group. i too joined the group after a gap of almost 5 years in end of jan this year...
welcome back. even after such a gap we feel attached to this group, which speaks volume for the group and association we all have.
May you get the institute of your dream..

That's true. I am sure I wouldn't have made it to a 750 without this community. In fact, taking the GMAT became a defining moment in my life.
This is how things happened:
Quit my construction job at L&T to prepare for CAT
Screwed CAT and thought that going abroad is the only way out of hell
Got a 650 in GMAT because I was complacent
Joined GMAT Club
Got 710
TIME, Kochi gave me a part time job as a Quant Instructor for GMAT because of my 710 score
Wrote the GMAT again and got a 750 (mainly because TIME wanted to advertise a 99 percentiler in Quant)
Fell in love with teaching
Relocated to Bangalore and found a job that paid quadruple of what TIME paid
Worked there for two years and interacted with 30,000 students in the process
Started my own company in partnership with three others
Got the necessary clarity of thought to apply for an MBA for real

All this started with GMAT Club
