Oh I guess they’re only responding to students who have received scholarships. Has anyone received a reject so far? I also had my interview on the 3rd. Wonder when they’ll respond

The wait is killing me! They’re replying only to select candidates at the moment and not giving out any rejections, which is confusing.

What do you guys think?

Jamboree is the worst. I literally wasted my money. They don’t teach you properly, their questions are flawed and they don’t provide any followup services. Better to burn your money

Agreed
I have heard better reviews from E-GMAT and others
Jamboree is not that bad at material though, they use all the official material there is
Even some of the prompts were exactly the same in CR as that in their website quiz

But there are better people out there, I agree

No i just took that 35 day gmat prep course at jamboree and didn't enroll for the admissions counseling services. It was just through informal conversations with the faculty that i decided to apply to these colleges i mentioned. And about the prep, my experience was pretty good, just attended 7 week course and gave the test after 2-3 mocks. I think everyone has a different experience
