Product Stacy Blackman Consulting MBA Admissions All-in Services
Consultant Sherry (SBC)
Sherry was a great resource for my MBA applications. She was very timely and had invaluable knowledge of both the application and admissions processes from her days on a prestigious school's admissions committee and her experience as an admissions consultant.
Although Sherry helped me in each stage of the admissions process, I wish she would've explained to me that some MBA scholarships are negotiable. This is something that I had no idea about and a simple email to a school, at the right time, could have increased my scholarship reward.
With that being said, I firmly believe that Sherry provided me with the best opportunity to position myself for each of the four schools that I applied to. I could not have done as well in the admissions process without her.
In fairness, I did not utilize the Target Test Prep software to it's full potential. I had already gained GMAT testing strategies from a different prep company and simply used this service to help identify some weaknesses. The user interface is very modern and by far the best of any company out there.
During our initial phone conversation, Scott at Target Test Prep seemed very caring and talked me through the mental hurdles of breaking score barriers.
I probably should've used this service as directed, but at the time, my needs were different than those of a beginner. Overall, it may be worth your while.
As a native speaker, I was initially very hesitant about signing up for E-gmat as it seems purely geared towards non-natives. However, I decided to give it a shot as E-gmat is widely known for its Verbal prep and for good reason. The level of detail that the lessons go into is very helpful and they emphasize understanding meaning over all else.
Pros: The scholaranium feature is very helpful to identify weaknesses.
Cons: The videos could definitely use an update and at times seem pretty low budget.
Overall, I think its worth the money to invest for the verbal portion if you are willing to use the strategies to the T.
As a native speaker, I was initially very hesitant about signing up for E-gmat as it seems purely geared towards non-natives. The focus and strength of E-gmat seems to be with the verbal section and not on the quant section. They are widely known for verbal and not so much for quant.
Pros: The scholaranium feature is very helpful to identify weaknesses.
Cons: The videos could definitely use an update and at times seem pretty low budget.
Overall, I think there are better courses out there to help you with the quant section of the GMAT. However, if you are looking for verbal help, this is a good option.
