School Selection and Candidacy Evaluation - I will help the client pick the appropriate MBA programs to apply to. By appropriate I mean programs that make sense for the client’s background and strengths. Sometimes the client “knows” what schools they want to apply to. However a discussion is warranted to draw out exactly how well the client is suited to the culture and profile of the desired school. 2. Personal Branding - This is a discussion that describes exactly who a client is as an applicant to the various business schools. It is used to guide the client, maintains consistency and creates a "personal brand" for use when crafting essays. While many of the components are contained in this document, this discussion directly applies your background to the selected schools. 3. Essays - I dissect the school specific essay questions for the client. That is I tell them what the essay questions are really asking. After a discussion on this, the client knows what points they need to hit on to craft a persuasive essay. They also know the correct structure in which to craft their essay. We go through several iterations/drafts. The drafts are then reviewed by other MBA students and alumni who critique the essays for content, grammar, style and structure. 4. Resume - I will help the client craft a business school resume. This type of resume is not the same as a resume that one would use when applying for a position. I help the client put their relevant experience into terms and a format that is readily digestible by the Admissions Committee. 5. Letters of Recommendation - I provide guidance on how to write letters of rec. I describe what elements a recommender will need to address is an appropriate recommendation. I also discuss who to approach, how and with what documentation. A lot of good recommendations are ruined by a recommender who does not know what to write or have time to write. 6. Review of Final Submission Package - I will review your final submission package in the final days before you submit to the school. This makes sure that all parts of the application are consistent. This is, in effect, making sure all the t's are crossed and the i's dotted. The potential to drop the ball here is huge. What may seem like a trivial application question can be a test in consistency across all parts of the application. 7. School Interaction Guidance - I will help the client schedule visits and interaction with the school. This includes information sessions, specific class visits, interaction with alumni. This gets the client's name out there and in the minds of the Admissions Committee members. They can then put the application with the name when it comes to decision time. 8. Mock Interview - I was an admission interviewer. I will conduct a mock interview with the client, provide coaching on the questions and then provide general feedback on the client's presence. 9. Waitlist guidance – Should the client be waitlisted at any of their programs, I follow up with guidance on additional recommendations, school interaction, communication timelines and protocol. Every effort is made to ensure the client moves to the top of the waitlist, off of the waitlist and into the program.

There are three features that we believe distinguish ManhattanGMAT from other GMAT preparation companies. Instructors All Instructors must have scored a 99th percentile overall on the official GMAT (currently a 760+). They also must have prior teaching experience in order to be considered. All Instructors must undergo a rigorous audition process to be extended an offer – in 2009, we had over 500 applicants for teaching positions. After various initial stages of screening, we flew 99 of them to New York for final auditions at our expense. Out of those 99 final round candidates, we hired just 16, for a yield of 16% of those we saw in-person (approximately 3% of total applicants). After being hired, Instructors then undergo a 100+ hour training process before being allowed to see students. In order to attract and retain the best teachers, we pay $100/hour for all teaching assignments, plus bonuses. This is up to 4 times the industry standard, and the highest in the industry. Content-Based Curriculum We believe that the best GMAT curriculum should provide students familiarity with the math, grammar, and analytical principles that the GMAT tests. Accordingly, we strive to re-teach students the 8th and 9th grade math tested on the GMAT as well as the grammar and logic that many students may never have studied. Other GMAT test prep programs on the market focus on teachable methods, such as “process of elimination” and "backsolving" techniques. Our GMAT course curriculum is different; it seeks to provide test takers of all levels with content mastery and an organized approach that builds skills for every question type on the exam, including the most advanced content that many other prep companies ignore. Focus Our dedicated team specializes in the GMAT. This means that our time, energy, and resources are spent developing strategies for the GMAT's unique content rather than for the generic standardized exam. This targeted focus ensures that ManhattanGMAT offers the most current and effective GMAT course available.

I have no words to explain. Frankly speaking I was not expecting the prize at all. My parents came from India today so I was driving to SFO airport when I got a PM from suyashjhawar. I couldn't believe my eyes when I was checking my mail.

Thanks to suyashjhawar. I am feeling very proud that I got the news from a guy who is from my hometown. It cannot be better than this.

Actually this prize goes to BB and all other GMATClub members for their great efforts to make it a success. Truly I don't know how to thank BB for his wonderful effort. He truly manged everything to perfection.

And BUNUEL... what to say.. He is the actual winner although I was picked up in the lucky draw.

Again thanks to all the members of GMATClub.

Congratulations. Hope you not just visit your dream school, but also get to successfully get your MBA from there. :cool

For BB and Bunuel .............. you guys are doing something way bigger than an iPad or a trip. This forum provides a very well organized treasure of knowledge to crack the GMAT. I know for sure that GMATCLUB has already helped hundreds of GMAT takers, and I wish that the site keeps going strong. BB, I am looking forward to the 1 Million Milestone. I have no doubt that this club has played an important role in pushing the overall average GMAT score higher.

I don't understand why you would say that Bunuel is a real winner. I was sure he wasn't going to win the first prize, it didn't look like that. It was a misjudgment not to accept the second prize. Obviously he might be a casino victim one day.
Of course the real winner is the one who actually and honestly won, Geturdream. My congratulations!

Thanks guys - it was actually a lot more work than I ever expected... a lot more stress too! I was thinking it was going to be a little promo.... was I wrong

Perhaps if you were applying to bschool at this time, this forum and the promotion would have fit into a good essay!
