Hello GMAT Club!

I've been a lurker here since May but now my GMAT/grad school prep is getting serious. Best of luck to all of us.

I'm Nick from the Philippines :)
Age: 27
GMAT/GRE Score: Taking GMAT in September
GPA / Work experience: 3.1 / 7 years
Educational Background: BS Management from top 2 school in the Philippines, I was active in extra-curricullars in college
Work: Project Management and strategy at a water infrastructure firm doing public-private partnerships
Post-MBA goals: Planning to go into public sector consulting or World Bank/ADB
Schools you are applying to: for MBA, NUS and SMU as I haven't narrowed down Tier 2 schools from the US; also trying out MPA from Lee Kuan Yew (NUS) as well. Looking for schools with sustainability/public sector practice; hoping for good recommendations as well

Hi - and thank you for the best wishes.
I am yes but granted with not as much vigor since I'm spending most of my time on preparing.
As soon as 14th hits (I'll know hopefully what score I'm going to get based on test day performance) I'll start working in full force on applications as well.

Businessconquerer, yea I understand the GMAT range that I might have might be on the lower side, but the school that I am applying for, the GMAT cutoff is 550. I have good work experience, references and accomplishments, so as long as I can score around 610 or maybe even higher, I think I should be fine. I am still hoping for a higher than 700 score, so with more practice my score will improve.

Sounds good. The higher the GMAT the better. Also, we have a Heroes of Timers competition that is going to start next week. I guess it will help you in your GMAT prep. I see you haven't registered for it yet. Please find more details about it in the following topic

Yes. I have all my apps about 80% done

edit - Oh, I forgot I registered an account a while back, but apparently it's connected to my google account. How do I delete my other one? Didn't meant to make a duplicate account.
