  1. I have a password for a GRE course. I entered for a free class giveaway but since I found out I got accepted into the MBA program of my choice, I don't need to retake. PM me if you want the password.
  2. I applied to the accounting MBA program on May 1. The brochure says it starts in late May and when I looked up the classes, one starts on the 20th. So how long would it take for them to get back to me? Has anyone ever received an admisssions letter after classes started? The worst part of waiting it out is when you have a job, you have no idea when you should use your vacation days, how much longer you'll be stuck there, etc.
  3. Thanks. Now I know that inscribed means "all vertices touch the edge."
  4. Here's an update. I just took the second Powerprep and here's what I got Verbal 164 Quant 153: 15 correct for Section 1, 9 correct for section 2 Needless to say, I improved my Verbal but hit the wall for Quant. I'm not sure what the inconsistant results between sections 1 and 2 say about my progress. For majority of the questions that I got wrong, the math itself wasn't difficult. I think my biggest time waster was misreading a question, solving for the wrong thing, and then find out after a minute or two that I really wasn't answering the question. And the scary thing is, there was one problem (data interpretation) that where I spent too much time wondering why none of the answer choices seemed to fit. I didn't find out until reviewing that it asked for annual (not monthly) income. And despite Princeton Review saying it's a common mistake, I did forget a few basics like that the root of 36 can be -6 too (a running clock can do that to you). What could I do to prevent careless reading mistakes? Since my test is on Saturday and I exhausted both Powerprep exams (I wish there were more ETS style online tests), what are some last minute things I can do to prepare? By the way, here is one problem where I can't for the life of me figure out why the correct answer is right. The perimeter of square S is 40. Square T is inscribed in square S. What is the least possible area of square T? A 45 B 48 C 49 D 50 E 52 I answer C but the correct one is D. Why can't it be C? If each side is 7, why does that make it impossible for the square to be inscribed in S?
  5. I'm applying for the Master of Business Science program (Sustainability concentration) at Rutgers and the very first page of the application asks for an approximate date and an explanation of the circumstances if you were ever on probation. I went to Rutgers for undergrad too and started out on pharmacy. My dad said it was a good major for me and since I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I went along with the idea. In my third year, I didn't do so well, hence the probation. The summer after that year from hell, I did a rotation in a retail pharmacy which I hated. After this experience and some soul-searching, I couldn't imagine myself as a pharmacist anymore and switched my major to environmental science. The first question is would they could if you were on probation if you answered no. The second is would this be a cause for concern if I told the truth.
  6. Here are my practice scores: Princeton Review 1 Verbal 157 Quant 157 Princeton Review 2 Verbal 166 Quant 149 Powerprep I Verbal 156 Quant 153 My biggest problem is running out of time for the quant section. But at the same time, doing the section too fast will result in careless mistakes when you read the question. Too bad Powerprep doesn't have the time you took for each question when you review. So I've been doing practice sets in Barron's before I move on to Powerprep II (which I have only done the essay part for). I have improved from missing 5 questions in Princeton Review to missing 2 in Powerprep(which I answered randomly at the last minute). Still, I have a week to go until my exam so I'd like to know what's the best way to study.
