Hi everyone, first post. This forum seems very exciting to have, my last time around applying for bschool I didn't use any kind of collaboration.
I've decided this year to apply for EMBA programs (looking at Wharton/Chicago/Kellogg). I last applied for FT MBA programs about 6 years ago, but was not successful. My GMAT is 7 years old, so I have to retake. I don't recall the specifics of my preparation last time, I think I focused on the OG and studied for 4-6 weeks. I hit a 750/6.0 first try taking it so I was done after that.
This time around, I am very rusty. My goal is 750+, I feel like I need to do everything I can to support my candidacy and I am a good test taker, so this seems like an easy way to show strength on my app. My plan right now is to study for 6 weeks ( I just made my appointment for late Aug), hitting it hard for 4-5 hours a day pretty continuously until them.
I am working through the OG diagnostics, and after that I am going to rip through the ten MG books in a targeted 4 weeks. I am going to try to take a CAT once a week and do as many questions I can besides that as well. Is there anything I'm missing? Is there anyone with a long gap in GMATs with advice on how to reattack it?
Thanks for reading!
