Hi everyone,
I found this forum through Google, and been active specially in the SC section for a while already. Interestingly, I came across this thread only recently.
I'm working as the finance director of an NGO in Central Asia. I've been working as accountant before, and doing other related finance tasks, but being a director I realized I urgently need to develop other skills, that's why I will try to get to bschool.
As for now I'm studying for TOEFL and GMAT verbal. Next month I'll start GMAT quant. Originally I planned to write GMAT in August, but closer to the date I'll see if I'm prepared enough to score above 700. Actually my preparation is going slow since I don't have enough time to study.
If I can't prepare well for this application season, then I will wait one more year, even though I'm getting a little old. But I don't have enough money to pay for the degree, and even when I have several people who could cosign for a loan, working outside the US or Europe it's unreal to return the loan. That's why I will study only if I get scholarships. And yes, for that you need a really good application, or you have to apply to a lower ranked school. I'm still not discouraged, and there is a small possibility that my organization will input a portion of the cost, so I can still continue with the plan of getting an MBA.
Good luck to all of you as you try to achieve your goals.

Hi friends,
I just recently found the GMAT Club website and am excited to be a part of the community (it reminds me of the College Confidential community I was a part of trying to navigate the undergraduate admissions process). My background is a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania (that's the College of Arts and Sciences, not Wharton!), and two years out of college in management and strategy consulting for the government and private sector clients. I took my first GMAT on May 8, 2010 to set a baseline and scored 700 (45Q/40V/5.5AWA). With client work taking a front seat, my audacious study plans turned into about 5-10 hours of glancing at sample questions in the OG the week beforehand.
I am "happy" with my score given the effort that I put in, but am pretty disappointed in myself for not preparing much more and doing better on the first go-around; also I scored much lower on Quant and much higher on Verbal than I anticipated. Math has always been my strong suit and I am looking to improve that score immensely. I will be taking the exam again this summer and my goal is to boost my score past 750, applying to MBA programs this fall 2010. I'm looking forward to the other resources and community members available on the website, and to finally set in place a true study and application plan.

Hi I'm HCB (initials for my name), and I'm a newbie. I think that GMATClub is a very helpful resource! Thank you.
About me: I took the GMAT once, did OK, and will probably take it one more time this summer.
Would love to go to a top tier school anywhere in the U.S. of A and ultimately would like to work in consulting/marketing
Love dogs and CBS's The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon Cooper is my hero! He probably would score 800 on the GMAT
