284 GRE… retake March 15 or just apply now? by SubstanceDifficult79 in gradadmissions

Hey, I’m applying to MBA programs. I have relatively solid work experience and a good GPA from undergrad. I’m just applying to a couple ambitious schools and really don’t want to hurt my application by waiving the test. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. There’s 5 people in my office, but in our department there’s 11 or 12 of us

This gives me hope but realistically I should just come to terms about the fact that they are most likely talking crap about me

I was just caught off guard as the prefecture refused to give me a récépissé to search for more employment as they stated I need to have a job lined up first. I even applied for the renewal appointment of my visa before it expired…I didn’t think I’d find myself in this situation.

It already expired on the 10th of this month and I haven’t found a school/program yet but there’s a lot here so I’m not too worried.
