Can you ask the school if they will waive the GMAT? I got mine waived and know others have too.

What's your main struggle?

If you want to talk through it you can DM me. I've been tutoring for GMAT on the side for a while, both on my own and with 2 large firms. Maybe I can help you diagnose how to change your approach.

See if they will use experience in place of gmat. That’s what i did for my MBA and the years later i graduated with a 4.0 gpa. The GMAT is not a good predictor of success, especially if you have been out of school for a while

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?
