Also just read a lot more honestly

I used Manhattan Prep too...but what are you referring to with “sentence correction”? Do you mean sentence equivalence?

I would use their “5 lb book” test bank questions to target the specific questions you’re weak on. If vocab is a contributing cause, I agree with C1 that the Magoosh GRE vocab app is awesome (and free).

Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
