Took an official mock exam before starting to study and scored 600. Studied for 6 weeks, scored the following on official mock tests: 710, 720, 710, and 750 (46v/ 48q). My dream school is HBS, should I cancel my score on the actual exam if I score 710? I'm an international student and have a great story and EC to compliment my application.

What did you use to study verbal?

You have a >720 in your arsenal. I’d give it another go mate.

Mock exam scores have to be adjusted down. If you score a 710, def keep it because it actually reflects the upper range of your real scores.

smart

I’d say keep it. Actual GMAT is harder than practice

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

A great opportunity with a top brand has come up. I have not actively looked to make a move, but this role and brand looks really promising with a greater earning potential.

Any suggestions on how to leverage for a leveling of my current salary and role which I have been told is in the works but I have not seen any sort of movement to give me confidence that it will happen?

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
