510 GMAT Admitted to HBS!

Hola!  So I was reading an article that came through my Google reader the other day.  What caught my eye was that the:

Preliminary Class of 2012 at HBS: GMAT range was 510-790!

Granted the mean GMAT was a 724 but I just thought it was great to see that yes GMAT isn't everything.  I'm sure this person had a very compelling application or has been to space! J/K I'm sure it's very very well deserved!

Anyway - I found that to be very interesting and I thought I would share with you folks!  Back to what's going on in my GMAT world...

So today I finally cracked open the Veritas CR book again.  I'll be honest in that I was apprehensive about tackling CR again.  When I took the class last month we were doing more advanced CR problems and they were throwing me for a loop.  I guess I got discouraged with it, but I know that with this test... if you have a weakness you cannot let it get the best of you otherwise the test will!

So tonight I went through the end of the Geometry guide.  I must admit that some of them stumped me.  There was one question asking about something shaped like a Toblerone box... you know... not quite a cylinder or a rectangular box... yeah they threw in a triangular shaped figure and wanted me to find out the area of the triangle or something like that... I didn't know the formula so I gave up on that one.  When I looked at the explanation it looked pretty standard!

Michigan Ross?

Let's see.. let's see.. what else is going on in my world?  Oh.. I signed up to attend a Michigan Ross information session at the Kaplan center here in NY on 7/19.  I'm kind of excited to go... but I get excited about going to any information session.  I'm interested in Ross for a couple reasons.  My two new friends 

(Remember back to when I started talking to the kids in the train station after our Yale SOM visit - Here's the link to that Blogpost: http://bit.ly/YaleSOMVisit) 

In any event... they're both going to Ross and they keep telling me that I would love it and that I should visit.  I did some research into the curriculum and what not and the main takeaway is that my favorite color is Blue, so I can see myself there for two years.  Of course you guys will get an update on how it goes...  

That's all she wrote tonight!

O O O O O O MY GOSH it's hot!

The title of this post doesn't really have anything to do with the subject... I just through it would be a nice little throwback to my beginning posts when I was trying to have a theme to all of my posts... then things just became too hectic and I threw that idea out the window...although OMG (Feat. Will.I.AM) is one of my favorite songs right now. 

If you haven't heard about the weather we've had recently in New York look below... this was taken on the TV in the elevator at work.  Now triple digits is not too too uncommon, it's actually to be expected a couple days in the summer.  Take a look at the time though!

That was a brutal day... the only benefit is that it kept my ass inside studying!

Tonight I almost got through the Veritas Geometry book!  For me Geometry is not a tough topic, I enjoy it very much for some odd reason - yes even the Data Sufficiency!  Tomorrow I will go back through the arithmetic book and do some problems that I missed before, and then open up the Veritas Critical Reasoning Book.  I'm feeling more confident and relaxed this time around while studying and I know it's because I don't have a concrete date.  I do have one in mind, but I'm not bound to it.

I received an email from my Veritas Consultant last week.  She just had a baby girl - so Congratulations to her!  She reached out to ask me how my preparation was going for the GMAT... No pressure right?  ahaha...  As you all know.. for me that's going to be the deciding factor in my admissions so I cannot lose sight of that.  She seems very excited to get this show on the road... application season is here!  I responded to her two paragraph email with an 8 paragraph email haha...  I had a lot of questions built up.

I checked the Tuck website today, as I do every day, to see when the applications would be available:

It's go time!  Time for me to GO to sleep....

I'm trying to figure out how to install the Facebook Open Graph on my blog... I'm sure some of you have seen that I tried installing the Like button!  Not sure how that's gone over.  So if anyone has any suggestions - please comment...Also if you know of anything else "cool" that I can put on my blog please do let me know...  I wanna spice it up a bit for the application season!
