I came to know this forum thru Google and in no time kind of got addicted to it. I see members posting questions, posting answers,explanations, overall helping one other acheiving their dream score. I also felt knowing bit more (like background,goals) about the members whom I will be seeing everyday in the forum for next 2-3 months,would help communicate better,would help helping one another better.I am sure many members would agree with me and think the same. So, why not start introducing ourselves? Please post your background,schools you are hoping for ,your target score and how far you are from it. I am hoping this forum would help me acheive my goals while I try help others acheive their goals. Good Luck!!!

Hey everyone,

I am new to the site and must say that I absolutely love it! I am currently studying for the exam using the GMAX Online system. So far (app 1/2 way thru it) it is amazing and I feel incredibly prepared to sit for the exam later this year. If anyone has completed the GMAX system, it'd be great if I could shoot you a couple of questions about it. Also, if anyone has any questions for me please let me know! :-)

About me:

24 y/o Male
Ideal Score: 710+
Analyst - Merrill Lynch
Undergrad: Emory University '05 (BBA - Finance)

Use for this site: Help w/difficult math problems as well as SC.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to contributing.

Hi everyone! Like Robin in NC, although I've been on these boards for a while, it just occurred to me to come here and post my stats!

Basic Stats:

I reside in Columbus, Ohio and got my undgrad degree at The Ohio State University (sorry, we are conditioned to emphasize the "The" from the first day of freshman orientation!). I started out as a Food Science major, but switched and eventually received a BS in Human Ecology with a major in Human Development and Family Science, Middle Childhood Education option, specializing in Reading/Language Arts and Social Studies. I know, longest major title ever! Basically, it prepared me to go to graduate school to get certified to teach grades 4-9.

However, I've been working for lobbyists for the past 7 years. I've worked at two different non-profit lobbying organizations. A couple of years ago, I decided that since my undergrad degree is pretty much useless on its own, and I'll have to go to graduate school anyways, my work background and new interests fall more in line with an MBA. I want to focus on marketing and my long-term goal is to get into brand management.

As far as extra-curriculars go, I'm currently president of a statewide women in government networking organization, and have been chairs and co-chairs of different events for several organizations. I was also pretty active in my undergrad, having worked on 3 student body president campaigns and on the policy committee for the undergrad student government.

So, that's me in a nutshell!

I have taken a practice GMATPrep test and scored 700 (Q: 46, V: 40) but my target score is 750. I have signed up for MGMAT to help me reach that score.

Hello MBA-aspirants,

My name is Anand, and I am a Software Engineer working in NJ, I have my Bachelors from India, and Masters from US both in Computer Science.

My Target Score is 700 & above, and target schools are NYU Stern & Columbia.

I am planning to give my GMAT in the next 45-60 days, I have started preparing with MGMAT first, and then plan to give 1 /2 tests a week on the weekends for the next 30days, and then give only test in the last 15-30 days.

Let me know if this is a good strategy.

Hello everyone,

I've been forum lurking for the past 2 months, but only now decided that I should join the club and get some insight from those around me.

I hold a bachelors of Civil Engineering from Ryerson Uni (Canada), with a Professional Engineering designation, and have been working in the Building Industry for the past 4 years.

My target score is 700+, but more realistically, i'd be happy with a 650+.

Hi Friends,

This is Leopard. I did my UG in India. After that, I am now at Dallas with Citi Bank as a IT Analyst. I have around 5 years of experience. My main aim (or aspiration) in life is to fight hard and enjoy each moment at the same time. My formula to success is "Never say Die"

I am watching this site for almost 4 years now. Though this is my first post.

Reason, I will be taking GMAT only during Feb 2008. Till now never thought seriously about it. I want to get into a good B Shool with a good GMAT score. I hope that I will score 750 in GMAT.I scored 600 in my Kaplan practice tests.

I love management and consulting and aspire to become a good leader. I am good in Quants, puzzles, teasers and logical thinking and want to become good in verbal. I have started my research now.

I wish all the best to you guys. Lets prepare and train ourself to become excellent Managers.

Lets Rock Folks....................... :-D

Hey everyone!

I am an electrical/electronics engineer working for a diversified industrial manufacturing company in NC. I have been planning to take the GMAT for the past year (believe it or not!) and currently have it scheduled for the 9th of February.

I have a MS in electrical engineering from an ABET recognized institution and have been working in the embedded control systems, with applications tailored to serve the Power Industry, for the past 5 years.

Hopefully this time around I will take the GMAT as scheduled:)...Good luck to everyone else who is taking this exam.

And hats off to the admin team for creating a valuable source of information like these forums. Three cheers!!!!

Cheers!

hey everyone,
I came across this forum through another forum actually.

I just graduated and I'm looking to earn a masters in international relations/economics. Then, after working for a few years, I'd like to go back for an MBA.

I've been passively preparing for the GMAT but I've started my full-fledged preparations since last month. I'll probably take the test in about 2-3 months from now, or whenever I feel comfortable/confident that I can do well.

Just a quick glance through this forum, and I can tell it's gonna help me out a lot.

I wish everyone luck on their exams!

Hello,

I'm writing the GMAT for another time, and I hope I can learn a few pointers from joining this GMAT forum.

Honestly, I was really hesitant to join this club cause, I didn't really know how on earth reading forums was gonna help me get a better score. (I did extremely horribly the first time around, and this is my last chance cause I already applied to an MBA program- U of T Rotman).

But after reading about the person who wrote the GMAT a few times and scored 700 and eventually got into Wharton, I figured why not give it a shot.

As I hope I can learn from all of you, I hope I can contribute to your experiences too^^!!!

PS: Are there any other Canadians around here, or am I the only one? =(
