Hi All,
I'm gearing up to take the GMAT, and I'm considering in-classroom course offerings. I'm looking primarily at Veritas and Manhattan GMAT. I haven't identified any comparisons of the two except for a BW article from 2009 - not exactly the most current resource.
Has anyone compared both programs and opted for one over other? What prompted the decision? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I took Kaplan for the SAT, and Princeton Review for the GRE. Though I did well on both exams, I can't say I really liked either of those programs, which is why I'm looking at more specialized offerings like Veritas and MGMAT.
Thanks!

I used MGMAT books as self-study, as suggested, but was unable to reach my target score. I don't believe this was an issue with the books, but rather self-study. It was hard to focus after 10+hr days at work.
In my most recent attempt, I took an in-person class with Veritas, and got a 690. I thought the books were similar to MGMAT's (that is to say, both are excellent), but the in-person class was really what helped put me over the top. I chose Veritas for the simple reason that it was offered locally, and MGMAT was not.
I know this review won't help you decide between the two, assuming both courses are offered locally for you, but at least it is a data point. It is my belief that they are both great classes and sets of books, so really, you can't go wrong.
Hope this helps.

Hi Hamm - thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.
If MGMAT had been offered in your location, do you know which you would have chosen?
Both Veritas and MGMAT are offered where I live, so I'm stuck in a dilemma. Veritas is quite a bit more than MGMAT, but money isn't really an issue. My thought process is that perhaps MGMAT might be the better option, and if I'm still left with questions, I can hire a private tutor, which could still, potentially, come out less than Veritas. I'm drawn by the 9 extra hours of class time with Veritas though. And the session is shorter, so I could tackle an actual GMAT sooner.
Most comparisons between the two programs date from 2010 or previously. It's a tough call to say the least.
