sigh of relief

Yesterday night, I submitted my application for weekend MBA program at berkeley. This ends my one month ordeal of preparation.

I decided that I should get admission to MBA program in early Jan. I had only 6 weeks to give GMAT, TOEFL and write my application. In these 6 weeks, I must have bought all crash courses remotely GMATish on web.

My scores during preparation were:

• KAPLAN: 580 - 620


• 800score: 630 - 650


• GMACTESTPREP: 650-710

I liked 800score the best.

I had also take princeton review crash course and kaplan crash web course but I would recommend for people with short time as me to just concentrate on getting as many CAT tests. There is no new concept or style to learn; practise, practise and more practise is the only way to success.

My final score was 660, way less then I was expecting.

Then, I had to write these four essays:

1. What is your favorite quote, and why is it meaningful to you?
2. What are your intermediate and long-term professional goals?
3. Describe the professional accomplishment of which you are most proud.
4. Please tell us about yourself and your background. What makes you unique compared to other MBA applicants? (500-1000 words)

Wonder there was no SOP. Till last minute I was editing the essays. Finally 10:00PM PST I submitted the application.
