I'm an incoming student at NYU's Stern School of Business 2 Year Full Time MBA program. On the test front, I began with a 670 (GMAT Classic) and breached a 770 (GMAT Classic) before I applied to schools. I've bagged up to full scholarships (with stipends) while being an Indian male (overrepresented/overcompetitive demography - can't do anything about it) with 3 years of work experience and a non-premier undergrad school. I've completed it all without the formal assistance of an MBA admissions consultant for schools I was admitted to. With that, I'm ready to share with you what I learned about how to prep for GMAT, where you should apply, how an admissions officer thinks, what to write and avoid in an application, networking effectively to break in, and saving money along the way.
