I know this is probably asked a thousand times already: do you think in person GMAT classes are worth it..? Kaplan vs. Manhattan vs. other recommendations?

Kaplan was terrible, do not do it

Manhattan def worth it

like

Thousand different answers.

I did Manhattan, their structure and being able to ask questions helped. Was it worth the $2k? Not completely sold.

1. I did Manhattan in person, and they helped me get a 770.

1b. I don’t know what my score would have been without them, but I know I’m happy with my score with them—mountains of fellowships and scholarships that will each pay the class investment with a pretty big multiple.
