Hello Everyone.

Hope you are doing good with your preparation like a warrior.

My name's Pattabhi. I am from IT with 5+ year experience in various roles like coder, support analyst and currently as HR executive. I want to switch my carrier to Management. I found MBA through GMAT is a great choice. I came across GMATClub while googling, and within no time I realized GMAT Club is the right platform to achieve my target. I found a lot of positive spirit among the club members.

I have good math skills, and I am working on polishing Verbal part.

I wish all my GMAT club members all the best in chasing their dreams. Keep motivated, keep conquering.

Cheers,
Pattabhi.

Hello all,

I am from the Netherlands, 23 years old. I have done a Bachelor of Business Administration at a university of applied sciences and am currently studying a lot for the GMAT in order to get a nice Master's degree. I need a score of 600 for the universities i'm looking to get into. I have been using gmatclub a lot, among other websites, and have been doing the daily questions for about 2 months now, which have helped me out tremendously in preparing for the test and 'staying sharp'. I am using Kaplan GMAT Premier 2015 which I found a good book to start out with, and am now going through a couple of ManhattanGMAT books which I hope to finish by the end of the month. I will then follow through with the OG. I hope to do the GMAT end of September or somewhere in October. So far I have reached CAT scores of 560 (Kaplan), 580 (MGMAT), 630 (MGMAT) & 640 (GMATPrep), chronologically. I hope to get my desired score of 600+ on the real thing.

Hi All

I'm Vaibhav, Engineer & MBA with 8+ years of work Ex. Planning to do an executive MBA and hence preparing for GMAT. Not a native English speaker and hence do struggle with English. Hoping to learn a lot from you guys and the forum.

Regards

Hi all! My name is Liz.

I have a BBA in Marketing from a state school in Texas. I currently work for an automotive distributor here- an uncommon occupation for my region because of the heavy emphasis on oil and gas. I've moved up quickly within the organization in my three years here. As a result, it's become very easy to let the desire to get an MBA subside while I'm comfortable in my job at my age. I always wanted to pursue an MBA to experience learning through the shared experience of others and to network!

I'm targeting a 690 at the moment. My employer pulled out all the stops to have me stay and work while pursuing the degree. As a result, I'm wrestling with doing a part time program and taking the financial assistance and following my dream of going to a top tier school.

Hi, I'm L4S. Recently finished my degree in applied mathematics from a top state school. However, I've decided on a career change and am looking to get a Masters in Finance and work in the finance field. Hence I am studying for the GMAT, looking to take it in 2-3 months. Aiming for an 800. Hopefully this place won't distract me too much from my prep.

Hi,

I am Kuntal, and I hail from India. I have 4+ years of experience in the Software Industry. My GMAT score is 760 (Q49 V44) and TOEFL score is 118 (30 29 29 30). However my IR score is very low (3/8). Do you guys think it might be a problem getting into a good B-School? Also which all schools might I safely apply for?

Hi everyone,
I am from the most common pool of applicants (Indian, male, IT, Engineer). I have taken my GMAT (scoring a 710), where the resources of this forum have been very useful. I am currently looking for colleges and trying to help students of this forum.

Cheers

Hello folks,

i wanted to introduce myself.

I am from Austria and just finished my BA in banking and finance at the University of Applied Science Vienna.

Before I started to study I finished my apprenticeship as an electrician and worked on the construction side.
I began my apprenticeship with 15 and it took 4 years.
Besides my job I attended the evening school and passed the entrance exam "Berufsreifeprüfung" and began to study.

I am not a native speaker, so excuess my bad english skills....

Currently I started to learn for the GMAT, my goal is a score above 740 and my dream is to attend the HSG in Swizz.

Hi everyone,

I'm Lazure, I have a background in law and have worked in a global company on B2B / B2C issues.
I'm will be applying to Wharton, Insead, LBS and still undecided between NYU and Berkeley. I'm looking for a general management program with a strong global reputation and network.

Regarding Gmat my main issue is quant since I haven't worked with numbers since high school ! I studied in English for two years so the verbal part is less of a challenge. I started my prep with Barron's book which I strongly advise people to avoid (many mistakes, unclear explanations). Then I stumbled upon Gmat Club on Google and after reading the books recommendations, I decided to purchase the MGMAT books.

I am aiming at a 700+ score which will be a challenge since my first MGMAT CAT score was 560.


I would like to warmly thank the founders, administrators and moderators of GMAT Club. Before joining I was lost regarding how to approach my Gmat prep and my MBA applications. This forum has provided with invaluable insight into the process, advices and motivation .

I'm looking forward to exchange with you guys during the next months !

Hi everyone, great forum, i have been reading you for a while before deciding to sign up and now post.
I am from France, I have a masters degree in finance ( french business school) and 3 years work experience in financial analysis, sell side.
I am currently working on my gmat and targeting a 700+, pretty much like everybody else and my dream school is Insead!
Glad to join you!

Hey folks, this is vartak, I have been working in operations for a start up firm in North America (New York) for past 4 years. I want to pursue MBA with top 10 B schools in U.S. I am trying hard to find time and study. I am sure this forum is going to help me a lot. I have started reading already. Keeping myself motivated is the biggest challenge at this time. I will post my questions on this forum as I move forward.

My name is Amrina. I am a Canadian woman but I live in India for now.

I started my career after high school as a model but owning to my lacking of interest, I decided to get out the moment my contract was over. Since then, I have gone on to study at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I graduated with a degree in Sociology and have worked with many Not-For-Profit groups over the years. I started out as a volunteer while at university but over the years have made my way to being a Community Resources Manager today. I have a bit more than five years of full-time professional experience and 9 years in total considering volunteering work and Intern experience.

I took the GMAT last year in February. I am quite satisfied with my result. In fact, I targeted a score of 650-700 but got 730. I have been unable to decide the right time to leave my job and take the plunge for MBA. I am in a comfortable spot with my work so it is quite difficult to quit the position I am in right now but I don't want to get too distant that by the time I put my mind to it, my GMAT score becomes obsolete. The only sore spot is I.R. I got 4/8 which is what I was expecting. I am not sure if I should re-take the test with the sole purpose of improving upon my I.R. score. That, the bitter experience of sitting on an uncomfortable chair in front of a computer for hours has damaged my motivation enough to re-take the test. Quite frankly, the moment I got my score, I brought the curtains down and so far I haven't looked back too much or even entertained the possibility of a re-test.

Hi, I joined the site early last year but this is the first time I'm posting everything. I've registered for the Gmat exam for 2nd december and aiming for the R2 deadlines in Jan'15

Hello,
My name is Alessandro and I'm an italian working in retail in South America.
I came about this forum searching on google "How to get a 700", some topic related to that and now here I am.
I studied international science and diplomacy in Italy, and now I'm aiming to pass through the admission process! I have being studying for the GMAT for 6 months, with Kaplan test prep full optional. was scoring a 650 average on so I decided to take the real test, it was today by the way. But no, i'm not here to show what skills are needed to get a 700, since I have scored a 610, that I'm rather proud of! It is anyway somewhat far from my objective score, looks like i'll stick with you guys for a while! Thank you for keeping this forum adjourned it really has great contents, resources and features for all GMATters.
If any of you have any suggestions I'll take them all onboard,
thanks again!

I would recommend you to take E-gmat verbal course especially if a non-native speaker. As for preferred practice CATs i recommend you GMAT Prep, this tool is free and you can buy two more CATs. I think that these CATs reflect exam properly!

Hello! My name is Myron, a BA in Finance graduate. I am working here in Phoenix and I plan on taking GMAT some time next year. I landed 650 when I took the exam before so I need to work harder to get at least 50 more points. My target school is Columbia. Kudos to Praetorian and Bob for doing a wonderful job with the site.

Hi,
I had joined gmatclub so long ago and had been just an infrequent visitor and observer. I have an Electrical Engineering degree and a two year work experience. I've been planning to start my GMAT prep for the last 6 months or so but couldn't make myself focus. This I consider the first step for a successful study plan...I name it Plan #246
