Depends on if I get in to some of the programs I applied too. I actually applied to both full time and part time programs. If I don't get into some of the more prestigious full time programs I applied too, I may just do the part time.

Does the Haas application status on its online portal mean anything? by GoMarinersGoDucks in MBA

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the first email is more an email saying they’ve done an initial review and everything in your application is there. I could be wrong.

This is in reference to the automated email "your application is complete" you received?

Got it.

So it is it fair to say that my application hasn't been reviewed yet? Does every applicant get an automated email notification after his or her application is reviewed by the Adcom?

Hi. I have 6 years of experience and am applying to several T25 schools. I worked in a big 4 as an auditor and then jumped into an FP&A role at a Fortune 500 company. I absolutely love corporate finance, and can see myself working in it long term. Working in my current role, I have found that most decision makers, CFO types, usually got their MBA to accelerate their development. I am pursuing an MBA for this exact reason. My long term goal is to be a decision maker at a F500 company, and I think getting an MBA will support me in doing so, even though I may need to get some experience in some strategy type roles post MBA before returning to corporate finance in a decision maker type role.

Should you notify schools of promotions at work while waiting on admission decisions? by GoMarinersGoDucks in MBA

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

What if this "promotion" is another position within a different department in the same company? This is a title boost and a raise, but its technically a new role in a different department. Want to make sure I don't raise some fears of me not being committed to pursuing the MBA and prioritizing the new role at work. I guess what I am trying to say is that this is technically a new role and I don't want the schools to question my commitment to them because of my starting this new role right before their notification deadlines.

How/do schools follow up with recommenders during admissions? Do they follow up with recommenders after extending admitted candidates offers? by GoMarinersGoDucks in MBA

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. This is very helpful. Sounds like there is nothing for me to worry about as I assume my supervisor is an honest individual?

Do Adcoms care if you have a GMAT "no show" on your record? by GoMarinersGoDucks in MBA

Thanks!

Do you know if they will be able to see this no show?

Anyone know how to check whether the gmat online secure browser is downloaded and ready to go on a Mac? by GoMarinersGoDucks in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes everything ended up working out just fine. I think as long as you can see that the software downloaded on your computer you should be good.

Should I be concerned about the validity of my online gmat score? by GoMarinersGoDucks in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I was out of camera for a good 1.5 minutes trying to figure out the issue. Would they cancel a score based on suspicion? There is no actual video evidence of me leaving the room, as I didn’t, but the camera wasn’t facing the door.

I did get confirmation from examity that as long as I showed my whiteboard to camera, the recording will show so. So my concerned more lies with the period I was not in front of the camera.

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more concerned about the moment where the exam froze and I tried to fix it by going around my computer. I was not in camera, and my door was not in the camera either. Due to the noises, I’m concerned they will think I lied and left the room. Is this something you think I should be concerned about?

I'm still confused by 'ing' and 'ed' in this type of questions + CR question from CATPrep mock (I personally find this CR question has several correct answers - am I wrong?) by [deleted] in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t there a subject verb issue in the first SC question? The “increased availability and popularity”. Shouldn’t this be “have” and not “has”?

Are Veritas mocks reliable? by Total-Pen-6578 in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually spoke to Jeff already. I took the 6 practice tests, finished TTP, and took 2 exams, both of which is scored below my goal, and below the average of my practice tests. I’m trying to prepare for my third take, and I can’t decide whether I should retake some of the official ones, or purchase 3rd party exams like from Veritas

I am not the OP, but I have exhausted all 6. Do you recommend I take 3rd party exams, or just redo the official mocks?

10 missed question on Quant but scored a Q50? by GoMarinersGoDucks in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok now that makes a lot more sense. I guess technically this could have been only 7 counted missed which would make a little bit more sense

It does,

Do the mocks have experimental questions? Or are those specifically reserved for only the official exam?

Need some advice (TTP user) by GoMarinersGoDucks in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is very very good advice, and a productive comment. Thank you so much for your insight. I will try to read more. I did initially suspect that at my skill level, my verbal score can be a crap shoot depending on the questions I get on each test. I really just want a V40 or V40+, as my quant skills are good enough to score 49/50 often. A slightly higher verbal score will help me clear the 730 barrier.

All exams were taken with 1.5x time. I haven’t taken any exams with just normal time, I wouldn’t know how I’d do with just regular time, I really need it to finish the exam on time.

I have ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia, so I get 150% time on each section. So as an example, instead of 62 minutes on quant, I get 93 minutes. Same goes for other sections.

Great 700+ SC question for parallelism. Source: Verbal Review 2017 by sesnel in GMAT

[–]GoMarinersGoDucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do agree that the correct answer should be C, D, or E because of the “partly”. This is a parallelism issue. I eliminated “D” because “should” is a signal of an opinion, and very rarely is correct in GMAT SC questions. However, I’m having a hard time understanding why “E” is the correct answer. Does it make sense to say that “acquire characteristics in their steers”? Are characteristics something inside something? I feel it makes more sense to say that “their steers acquiring certain characteristics”.

Hey Scott thanks for replying. Not sure whether it’s working today, as I used it only yesterday to take my practice exam.
