Thanks for all of the congrats and good wishes! I was also wondering if anyone else had the same experience as I did, in that after you took the test, and assuming you didn't do horribly, did you just want to tell everyone you knew that you finally took it and did decently or great?

That is, until you realized after telling the third or fourth person about it, that you were also going to have to explain what the GMAT is, if your score is good or bad, and in some cases even what an MBA is.

That's why I lurve it here so much!

Oh, and in response to gablaze23's question, I'm applying to the Fisher College of Business Part-Time MBA program at The Ohio State University. There are other places I'd like to apply, but my husband is completely unwilling to move, not thrilled with the idea of me moving away somewhere for 2 years, and plus he works for the University so I'd get a 25% discount on tuition.

Yes, I agree to the explaining part...
When i tell people I got a 650/800 in the gmat, they had questions in the following order:
1. gmat is for Mba right?
2.if gmat is the exam for schools in the US, what are the exams for schools in europe?
3.Did you pass?


My story is somewhat similar to urs... my cutoff was 650. a 630 or a 640 would have forced me to take the test again... but i just got through.
I am looking forward to apply to Fisher for the Fall 08 intake, though for the full time course..
