Manhattan GMAT

like

Agree, using Manhattan helped me more than in person classes with Veritas...scored 740

like

Recommend the official GMAT books and official practice exams. 8 weeks of studying and 6 practice tests was enough for me and the questions are straight from previous exams.

Doesn't have a lot of "strategy" but there's more than enough free info online

Hi, this is a bit early but thought y’all might have some good insight. I’m exiting my current startup & have two offers on the table 1. A successful small startup in NYC doing PE/niche executive recruiting and 2. a fairly reputable PE consulting group in Austin. I’m going through the recruitment process at McKinsey for a middle/back office role (capabilities for a really cool space) but by the time I hear back, one of my offers won’t be on the table. Any advice on what’s best for MBA apps?
