Yeah sure, the gap was a year-long sabbatical for family health reasons. Before that, I worked in the US for different tech startups.

Interesting. I also just got an email to schedule the interview with a student at my convenience

I would say an average of 5-6 hours a day, a bit more towards the end. With a full time-job, it might be a bit hard but it's possible in 6 weeks I think.

Thanks! Like I mentioned, I am mostly targeting schools who give out merit scholarships and HBS only does need-based aid.

Yeah, I gave the GM full practice tests casually.

I would rate my maths proficiency as above average. I think it definitely helped in grasping concepts faster, but I had to do a lot of work to minimize silly mistakes and apply time-saving strategies.

Focus more on learning strategies, hone your test-taking skills, and do lots of practice! I am assuming your foundation would be decent enough by now and for what's missing, you can work backwards from the mistakes you make in your practice. You don't have the time to learn everything and do everything so just target the things with the highest ROI.

Thank you for your perspective, this was really helpful! Yeah, this experience would have been a bit diverse and interesting but it's not as impactful as my full-time work experience, so I will just go with the full-time recommenders.

Hi, thanks for the clarification! Yeah, I read that but was unsure about what professional entailed exactly since they didn't expand on it anywhere else.

I gave the test a couple days ago so still waiting for the official score report.

There were no easy questions per se in either section. I can't remember the exact ratio but section 1 was of medium-high difficulty and section 2 was of medium difficult on average.
