I first took the GMAT in 2015 after self-study only and received a 680. I was not satisfied with the score but wanted to wait until I was 100% sure I needed to attend business school before retaking. I decided to apply to b-school in 2017 and signed up to do a group prep-course from February-April 2017. The course was most helpful in that it gave me a syllabus and road-map for studying and kept me honest by assigning homework each week. The actual course was helpful for problem solving strategy but a majority of my learning came during homework time. I made it over the 700 hump and almost to my ultimate goal of 720. I ended up being accepted to all three business schools I applied to in Round 1 and don't think I could have without the course.

I hired Sherry for the 5 hour package to assist in selecting essay topics and putting the finishing touches on my applications. Fuqua was my top choice school so I selected Sherry based on her previous career in Fuqua's admissions office. Sherry has a framework for drafting Fuqua's essays and evaluating your "25 Random Facts" which was helpful in selecting what helped tell my complete story. She was also instrumental in editing my essays for Darden and Goizueta. I applied and was accepted in Round 1 to Darden, Fuqua, and Goizueta with $48k scholarship from Goizueta! Even if you have a solid application strategy and essays, I would recommend at least a few hours with Sherry to ensure your application is sound before hitting submit!
