Hi,
Two weeks ago i decided that i want to have a MBA in business in one of the top schools in USA.
Since that day i never considered such a change in my life, but i now that i made up my mind i'm researching in every place that i can find some information about GMAT and i end up here.
As a wrote in the topic name, i'm brazilian and (of course) a non native speaker.
I'm considering a self study plan and maybe a online course, like Magoosh or another one well rated, but i'm having some trouble to figure if i need a specific language course, since my english (speaking and writing mostly) is rusty and i'll have to achieve at least a 105 at TOEFL, because i'll apply to Wharton, Stanford, Stern, HBS and Yale.
I'll take the GMAT on June/July to apply on those schools first calling.
If you were in my shoes, would you do something different than i wrote above?
Tks

Welcome to GMAT Club!
What I would do is take a practice/diagnostic test now - anyone will do all-gmat-practice-tests-overview-free-and-paid-228289.html to figure out how much of a climb you have to do and where you stand with Quant and Verbal
Unless your quant is below 38, my advice to you would be to focus on the English proficiency over the next 3 months and fully focus on that. Then you can start working on the GMAT. Though TOEFL is not as closely related to GMAT any longer (unfortunately), there is still some overlap and it is hard to do RC's, SC, or CR if you also throw in the language barrier.
Good Luck!

Hi eduaber,
If you're going to have to take both the TOEFL and the GMAT, then you would likely find it easier to focus on one Test at a time (instead of trying to study for both at the same time). Many of the skills that you will gain while studying for the TOEFL should help you to deal with the GMAT, so I suggest that you start with the TOEFL first.
