Dear MBA Candidate,
A couple of years ago the staff at GMAT NYC were all faced with the same important decision you are facing now - namely, how best to prepare for the GMAT/GRE. We wanted to apply for Ph.D. programs at the top business schools and we were told that a score in higher 700's was required on some parts of the GRE. Naturally, we considered a range of preparation methods. Fortunately, we invested in a preparation course, which enabled us all to do extremely well on the GMAT/GRE, and as a result, we were all accepted to Ivy League Business programs. Shortly after that, we began to write the first lecture notes for a GMAT/GRE preparation course. We all learned during our own preparation that the available material did not contain all of the tricks needed to achieve outstanding scores. The original material that we wrote has been extensively revised and broadened by many of our fellow Ph.D. candidates here at Columbia Business School, and we firmly believe that our course currently contains the best preparation material and methods found in any country. It goes without saying that the material has been edited by individuals who are not only highly experienced teachers and editors but also intimately familiar with the composition of the GMAT.
As you know, admission to top-tier business schools such as Columbia, Wharton, Harvard, Stanford, INSEAD and the like means facing intense competition, not only from Americans but also from international candidates. And as you also know, in the United States and many other countries, it is common practice to prepare for the test months in advance. Because of this intense competition, test preparation is of the utmost importance. For example, take the case of Stanford Business School - the average GMAT score of Stanford's incoming class this year is 720 points. Given the perennially stiff competition, that average will in all likelihood increase over the next couple of years. In order to join the ranks of that fortunate 10 percent of applicants who are accepted by the best schools, you should maximize your potential by investing some of your time in our preparation course. Just because you didn't prepare with a course for the SAT when you were applying to college doesn't mean you don't need to attend one for the GMAT now - because the range of top business schools is smaller and the competition is tougher, the GMAT is a whole different ball game. If you are serious about getting into business school, be serious about preparing for the GMAT. We at GMAT-NYC consider the GMAT not as an annoying duty, but as an opportunity to stand out from the mass of applicants! If you take the time and energy to prepare yourself by reading review books, taking practice tests, and taking a test preparation course, you will be giving yourself the best chance you can have to get into one of the top business programs in the world.
Yours sincerely,
The GMAT-NYC Team
