Hi
Jadhavsameer41,
Congratulations on the monumental 190-point improvement from 520 (26th percentile) to 710 (90th percentile)!
Your Verbal improvement from V19 (17th percentile) to V36 (79th percentile) – a mammoth 17-point Verbal jump– is amazing, and I am so glad to have been a small part of that journey.
Your story proves that there is no limit to the heights one can achieve, through the power of grit, determination and perseverance.
What I admire about your journey is that you were always willing to take the time to achieve perfection. You carved your path to success, which was untouched by external pressure but rather pushed by an internal drive for excellence.
From your story, I can see that certain key elements really helped drive your success.
The Power of ProcessIn Verbal, I can see that you put in the time and energy to perfect a process that allowed you to attain predictable success. As we can see in the image below, in SC, the amount of time you spent on the files is a testament to your drive for perfection. You worked hard to get to 100% accuracy and prove that you had all your concept in hand.
This attention to detail and this focused effort into perfecting even the most minute aspects certainly helped power your amazing 17-point verbal improvement.
Understanding the Value in Every QuestionI am also happy to see that you spent time and effort learning from each and every question. The emphasis you placed on your quality of learning and the importance you gave to utilizing a feedback-driven system of solving questions is what pushed you to these new heights.
As I can see below, this method allowed you to improve leaps and bounds in Parallelism and Comparisons. Although there was a dip as you worked on reducing time, once you perfected the approach with the right efforts, as we can see below, your timing improved.
Never Say Die Attitude You said, ‘the sky is the limit’ and refused to stop until you had reached the clouds. It could have all come crashing down after your 620 attempts, but rather than admit defeat, you realised that you had the potential for excellence and continued to strive. Indeed, even a glance at your
e-GMAT Scholaranium stats show that you had the ability to go far beyond a V32 (64th percentile)
The Willingness to go the Extra Mile From day 1, you took the extra steps to bring your skills up to speed with native speakers. I really admire how you didn’t allow a thing such as native proficiency with the language to be the roadblock that prevented you from reaching the hallways of excellence. By going the extra mile by reading daily and practising the right reading strategies you were able to put yourself at an equal footing!
It has been a pleasure working with you Jadhavsameer41, and I am sure that with your diligence and hardworking attitude, you are absolutely going to kill it in B-School.
Regards,
Rida
