When selecting a test prep service, it may be helpful for you to (1) Take a practice test for GMAT and GRE. Don’t do the official. Save that one when you are closer to taking the test. (2) Ask yourself, “Do I need to do a lot better across the sections, or do I have one week section? Am I equally comfortable with the GMAT and GRE or am I scoring better on one? Just wanted to throw out that schools don’t care which one you take. (3) If I want prep, do I prefer/need independent work at my own pace/with syllabus a.k.a. low touch, a class with homework and social interaction to keep me going a.k.a. low to medium touch, or individualized prep with a tutor a.k.a. high touch? Obviously high touch is more expensive. I found a Manhattan course helpful for strategies, but ultimately saw greatest improvement when I studied independently after the class ended.

Super helpful thank you!

My practice scores were pretty consistent with what I scored on the GMAT. Maybe consider Manhattan too

I liked their 3 month plan

How much time do you spend alone during the weekends ? I usually don’t like being alone, so I try to plan something with my friends and feel sad if I don’t have any plans. It could be just going to the park but I highly depend on company of other people. With spring around the corner, I feel the pressure to make friends/ start dating so that I can do something. Am I weird ?

Yale SOM (no $) or Johnson with a full ride? Goal is consulting (not MBB or bust but MBB is the target) in New York City. Will have to take out nearly full tuition loan for Yale. Concerned about Johnson’s strength in consulting placement even for T2; seems to have mixed reviews. Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.
