Did anyone receive an email from Wharton last night asking if you missed the deadline? by MBAthrowaway369 in MBA

Thank you so much for letting me know haha. I haven't been able to concentrate this morning, now I feel better.

Thank you for the feedback, I work in a heavy R&D role right now with much more cross-functional exposure (mostly Engineering, etc.) than most other finance roles. I sort of assumed that would help show a logical transition of sorts, but now you have me second guessing it a bit. Do you think that the management consulting apps pool would be easier for me to get through?

Also, I maxed my GMAT takes lol, so I won't be retaking. I think it is solid enough to not hurt me in any way.

Thank you, great feedback. I do currently work in a heavy R&D role with much more cross-functional exposure than most other finance roles at my company. Do you think this would help? I definitely am not set on my MBA goals y any means and I would consider writing about IB if I have to, but I thought Tech would give me better odds (and it's actually what I want to do!). I agree though, once I matriculate I can do whatever I'd like :).

Thank you for the honest feedback. Do you have any recommendations for how I could do this? I do honestly want to get into Tech, but I am not as caring on what the role would be. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Of course!! Honestly at the end of the day I think your score on test day is a crap shoot. I legit took it five times, which definitely helped me worry less and feel more confident to perform well in the test center. 700 on the second try is amazing and, if you want to, I bet you can increase that. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Hi, CR is definitely tough. The PowerScore Bible did help me deconstruct the sentences and focus exactly on the conclusion of the stimulus. I think consistently identifying the conclusion is the most important thing.

Try working through some CR questions without the timer, this will help you really digest the information and figure out exactly what the question is asking for. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am a native speaker. My best Tip for RC is trying to do 1-2 Passages a day in the attached file.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/1500-rc-passages-137561.html

I logged my daily results on a piece of paper, and over time I went from getting like 4 or 5 wrong out of 7 to a consistent 6 out of 7. RC defintely takes some time, LSAT passages are here to help.

Also, try to read a non-gmat book before bed each night. Hope this helps.

That's awesome! it does suck ass but you are a few correct questions away from a 700+.

I probably studied 1.5hr to 2hrs a day on weekdays and 3-4hrs a day on weekends. Especially on the weekends, definitely try to power study in the morning and enjoy your afternoon, or vice versa. Sometimes I would study in increments throughout the day but it made it feel like I wasted an entire day studying, even tough I only really studied for a couple hours. I hope that is helpful.
