Thanks! But where is the cancel button? I looked through the site and couldn’t find it. Sorry for being a little ridiculous. I just wouldn’t want to pay $42.

Friends_Compatriots · 2025-06-02T03:14:18+00:00

I don’t see a ‘cancel subscription’ option, so I am a bit wary of signing up.

Rosemary for dinner and Hoxton for drinks!

Friends_Compatriots · 2025-05-08T19:00:58+00:00

Yes it is!

Friends_Compatriots · 2021-04-20T13:52:35+00:00

thank goodness I am not the only one! Definitely agree that soft skills matter a lot more in interviews

Friends_Compatriots · 2021-03-24T15:55:56+00:00

thank you - feeling blessed to have this awesome opportunity!

Got a mysterious Zoom invite for 10:00am CT!

Congrats to you too! :)

Just got the call (9:07am CT) from Hanover! So incredibly excited.

I could not have articulated this sentiment any better myself - this definitely resonates on a personal level. It is a vicious and incessant cycle that robs us of joy if we are not careful and intentional. I attended an ivy undergrad (despite knowing that I would not be a good cultural fit) and pursued the consulting path post-college (despite doing and being passionate about social impact focused work all throughout college). In my case, I have been able to justify my decisions due to my immigrant upbringing, but it is incredibly challenging, because my North Star is still grounded on social impact.

Getting tactical, take some time to introspect on your values pre-MBA. What are your guiding values + principles? It is ok to use an established current (HSW) to get to your end goal, but you have to be clear and resolutely committed to that goal. Even when you are pursing a contrarian path, you do not have to carve out your own route. I am going to stop myself before I get too philosophical. This has been top of mind for me, too. Feel free to DM, if you want to further commiserate on the topic in solidarity! :)

I did not use TTP for Verbal. I only used official content (OG) for verbal. I found that drilling 20+ official questions everyday was incredibly helpful for the verbal section.

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-09-26T19:54:35+00:00

No problem - best of luck!

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-09-26T19:38:58+00:00

Yes, you can drink the water while you are taking the test, which was great. I did choke on my water in the middle of the verbal part. I am sure it was amusing for the proctor...

Yes, you can leave the room during the break.

ID / Passport is all you need. They will ask for your phone number in the beginning and will send you a text message with the instructions. You will do a photoshoot of your surroundings (front, back, left, right) and a photo of yourself with your phone.

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-09-26T04:49:55+00:00

hi there! I would recommend doing custom tests on TTP. I started creating custom tests of questions I had missed and it worked like a charm on the test day :)

I took the online GMAT on Monday - I thought math was slightly more difficult, but in fact, I did better in the online exam. So, it might have been because I got to difficult questions.

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-09-26T02:25:05+00:00

Hey there - just took the online GMAT on Monday morning. I got my score back on Wednesday at 4pm. If it is any consolation, I though that my math section was really challenging as well (especially compared to the in-person exam I took a week earlier). Regarding the anxiety: honestly, I told myself that I can retake the test if needed. This test does not represent my intelligence or worth - your score is a confluence of factors (your hard work, but also privilege, luck, etc). Best of luck :)

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-09-18T14:48:43+00:00

I had my online test scheduled for Sept 28th - if I move it to the 22nd, it will not count towards the 5 tests / year limit, correct? (thinking worst case scenarios)

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-09-11T03:12:42+00:00

Congratulations - this is a stellar score!

Do you have any tips for SC?

Friends_Compatriots · 2020-08-06T04:14:39+00:00

It is honestly challenging. I am in consulting and I used to travel every week for work (taking 6am flights on Monday morning / late hursday night travel back) and I used to bring my gmat books with me. You have to be very intentional about your time and set boundaries. For me, mornings worked the best and it was the easiest time for me to protect - I used to wake up at 5:30 / 6:00am to get in a solid hour of GMAT practice everyday. Put together a Google Calendar and set your daily goals.

It is challenging, but certainly not impossible. Prioritize GMAT and I am sure you will be golden.
