I'm new here, too. I'm testing on August 18th. For the 45 year old who wondered if he was alone - you're never too old! I'm 53. I got my B.S. at age 41. I work full time as a manager, and am looking for a flexible B-school program. I'd love to go to a great school, but I'm limited by distance and time. I really debated going back to school, wondering if I have enough working years left to make it worthwhile. I came to the conclusion that education is ALWAYS worthwhile! Just studying for the GMAT has been stimulating. This is a great forum.

Hello All,
I am new here also. I found this group about a month ago posted at NYCCOFE networking group website. At first I was intimidated because of the high scores constantly posted, and I thought this was a site where members just brag about how they studied for a month with little effort and passed the test. But after being forced to stay in due to the hot weather, I decided to actually read the posts
I now find them to be encouraging, and inspiring. This entire MBA process has been a crazy journey for me.
About Me:
Mid 20’s
Undergrad: BFA Fashion & Graphic Design
Work: 4 yrs exp as a designer, 1.5 yrs as a brand manager
Took the GMAT after a Princeton Review class Nov 2006: walked away with a 430
That’s when I realized that the tricks would not help me, I needed to learn the content. Therefore I enrolled in courses at Community College with the guidance of Admissions at my top school choice.
As of today I have taken: English 101 (helped with writing and grammar), Statistics, Elementary & Intermediate Algebra and Trigonometry, and Intro to Business. I am also starting an Accounting and Pre-Calc class this week.
Some may think this is a lot, but please understand that my Undergrad degree did not require any math or business classes so most of the concepts and language is new to me. I have been fortunate to have over 5 years of experience in the fashion industry as a designer and brand manager for 2 of the largest companies in the US. I am very resourceful but I want to have a better understanding of management and decision making when it comes to marketing a product or brand.
The fashion industry is a Multi-Billion dollar industry but one must live in NYC or LA. I want to add to my skill set so that I can be more marketable as an applicant and have the option of crossing over into consumer products.
Since the last test, I have been studying like crazy, and plan to take it again within the next 30 days. I think I’m ready this time. I would love to be in the 700 club, but would be happy with anything over 600. I will keep you all posted on my progress and will participate and post more often.

Hey Everyone,
I just started studying for my first GMAT exam. I plan on taking it in about six months from now, so (yes!) I'm getting as much of a head-start as possible, considering the fact that I have no free time.
700+ is my target, even though I probably wont need it for the schools I'm looking at. I've been reading some of the posts on there and I'm glad that here is a 'raised bar' in this forum, because it only serves as motivation for me to do my best.
Hopefully, I can learn a thing or two in the next six months that'll give me an edge, but what it usually comes down to is practice! practice!! practice!!!
Thanks in advance to everyone for the great advice I know I'm going to get from you all.
