I have two months [#permalink] New post   22 Jan 2021, 18:31
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this brief intro.

I am a Marine Corps veteran, infantry. After my enlistment ended I went to Columbia, graduated, then went into the defense sector as a project manager. That was all in 2020. Now I'm at USC doing an MS in project management just to learn more about the job. I also crushed the PMP in about two weeks.

I need to get a 730+ in two months on the GMAT and I know nothing about it. I need to get into a top 5 school to get into McKinsey full time by 2023.

What would you all recommend?

You seem to have a pretty good profile as well as a good clarity on where you want to be. Don't stress too much about 730+ per se.

2 months is a good amount of time but not sure if it is enough to get a 730+ score. Depends on whether you have a good base already in both Quant and Verbal. You should first get familiar with the topics that are part of GMAT Q and V. I would take OG to understand that plus you can also try free trials from TTP, e-GMAT etc. as mentioned above as well.

Then give a free official mock so that you have a base score and you know where you stand and what you need to work on.

All the best!!!
