After spending sometime learning via books such as Manhattan Prep, my score didn't increase in verbal. I didn't understand why that is the case although I learned all the grammatical rules.

I had doubt about enrolling at first as I didn't want to waste time given that the applications are coming close.

I took the leap and it worked! I learned that meaning is very important that grammatical rules (sentences that are grammatically correct can be wrong as the meaning doesn't make sense).

I didn't have enough time to study reading comprehension and critical reasoning as my exam date was in 1-2 weeks.

Prior to egmat, I was somewhat guessing between the remaining 2-3 choices in a question in sentence correction. By end of the course (and with good effort from my side), I aced the GMAT's SC part (I applied for detailed report from GMAT website to view this).

I wish that egmat can grant longer durations instead of the 6 months (but the duration is good enough if you work (at a company) for less that 55 hours a week. In my case, the project delivery was coming to an end, and I had to find time to study.

I already recommended my best friends for egmat's online courses. It would be great if they have a referral program!

Thank you egmat and the team,
Definitely worth it

I tried my best to get a good score in GMAT and ended up with 700. After that, I felt lost, I didn't know what to do as I didn't understand what are the next steps.

I thought that the biggest battle is GMAT, but it is not! (the applications/essays are the biggest hurdle to tackle)

I heard about admission consultants that charge 3,000$-10K+ for there service. I had no clue what service I would get as I read mixed reviews. By chance, I found ApplicantLab on GMATClub. The price is amazing (less than 300$) and it is a 24/7 service. The website describes everything with prerecorded videos. You can go for additional services to review your CV and the applications.

Advice: Try to book early the slots with Maria as the bookings my not be available during peak season times.

In short, with support of ApplicantLab,I ended up applying to 3 schools and got accepted to 2.

I wish ApplicantLab had a section with videos advising applicant on scholarship applications (they do have advise of scholarship essays if they are part of the application example IESE's application).

Thank you Maria!
