Hi, i want to ask some questions about CBS:
1. How much score for the Executive Assesment that competitive enough for CBS?
2. If accepted in round 1, we need to pay deposit 6000 usd, is anybody here ever get a chance to get reduction for deposits? or maybe postponed the deposits to the next round?

One of the clients that we got in gave both GMAT and EA. From what the Adcom was hinting at, the score of 165+ seemed to be a decent one. Also, I have done some personal readings, apparently 174 is the highest anyone ever got to (I can be wrong here, because I read all these from non-reliant sources, but definitely something to think about)For deposits, I have not heard of reduction, that number is fixed. But, extension is provided for credible reasons.
