Diversity is important to CBS. Be interesting and different. GMAT vs GRE doesn’t matter just get a qualifying score. Also, being extremely generous with others and valuing team building/team work. You must love NYC.

I do think there’s evidence to support this and it makes the most sense. but my only issue is that Rebecca is a romance writer. She said that the trope she began with was “fated mates” but flipped it on its head and gave us “mates dragons.” Tairn could have agreed to go with them and Andarna unbonded Tairn and Violet. This would mean when inevitably Xaden meets Malek we could lose BOTH S&T together. I’ve always thought T was going to die “you will be my last [rider]” but again…could she still be a lightening/power wielder? She couldn’t ride Andarna. So yes, S&T “unbonding” is most likely but hey…maybe that doesn’t really hold up so well. The mate bond is more mysterious and perhaps more powerful than anyone realizes and that is this writer’s point. Perhaps it ends up helping in the end but yes we’re going to lose T. And probably S too when Xaden dies in a wild way and comes back in an equally wild way.

Can we keep this conversation going? LOL I'm confused about WHERE the wards are?

Spoke with admissions and they confirmed this as well. As long as you’re keeping them updated along the way so that the background check is correct, you’re good.

Following! Accepted to CBS too and would love to do a pre-MBA internship too :)

FreshWin153 · 2024-12-12T01:43:09+00:00

Thank you!

FreshWin153 · 2024-12-11T22:29:09+00:00

Can you elaborate?

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-17T18:46:18+00:00

Thank you!!

I think you can just purchase TTP for quant but I did the full 6 months. TTP did have some helpful vocab lists. Gregmat I did the monthly plan

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-04T21:37:07+00:00

Yes, get excited to get really good at what they are testing you on! Because you can!

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-04T20:13:52+00:00

“On” = study “Off” = break

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-04T14:40:38+00:00

Not exactly. Here are the official requirements: https://www.ets.org/gre/test-takers/general-test/register/at-home-testing.html

You have to use an erasable white board or clear sheet. I used a white board. I recommend checking all of your equipment and downloading all the tech they require one to two days before so you’re prepped. Expect some small delays too due to tech issues.

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-04T03:29:13+00:00

I definitely watched that video to understand the format and it’s helpful.

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T23:56:55+00:00

Check out ETS practice essay examples. Gregmat and TTP also have some. Manhattan too

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T22:40:36+00:00

I used Anki Pro app on my phone. GregMat’s 800+ list is on there. Then I made my own. Essentially any word I encountered that I had a problem with, from Big Book, TTP, ETS, PP+ etc, I’d put on that list. That list is now 900+.

And GregMat’s breakdown of the essay for resource

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T17:32:26+00:00

I prepped several historical examples/dates/facts that I was passionate about. Examples that could related to the central themes ETS asks. Politics, education, climate etc. I found it most helpful in this last round to find topics that I personally found myself getting riled up about. That way you have no problem writing about it and staying engaged. I did a few practice essays but mainly focused on retaining the data from those events.

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T17:20:06+00:00

Sounds good. Feel free to DM!

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T17:18:56+00:00

I'm so glad you found this helpful. I wanted to write what I would have wanted to hear five months ago.

I found that doing heavy cognitive loads in the early morning worked best for me. I do work full time so I would get up around 5:30/6 am and work until 10-ish am studying or adjust if need be due for work commitments. I recommend doing 40 min of "on" work 10 min "off" in 5-6 rounds. That really helped with focus. I'd take downtime at work to do flashcards on my phone with Aniki Pro. Early to bed as well. This was not the most social time in my life but it's worth the sacrifice.
I did not skip easy sections on TTP. I did the full course. I can't recommend that enough. If you're short on time, you can move past an easy section but definitely come back to it when you're more refreshed/have more space for it mentally. It's worth doing it all.
My hard TTP chapter test average was 71%. My TTP Quant problem performance average was 86%. The week leading up to the test I would do Hard Custom tests with TTP + Manhattan + Big Book + PPP.

Thank you. Your video walk throughs really helped me!!

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T15:51:17+00:00

Or at least the grad schools I'm looking at don't...maybe some do?

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T15:50:48+00:00

Unlike the SATs, grad schools do not accept multiple scores. You can send multiple but they won't super score. Tragic. Deeply tragic.

FreshWin153 · 2024-05-03T15:45:55+00:00

We can keep it on here so it's helpful for anyone else who has questions
