<< Thanks to everybody for their thoughts, e-mails, and well wishes. I

really appreciate it. I have been sick since last Friday and trying

to study when I didn't feel like sleeping, so I am not as up on the

messages as I would like to be. I'll try and catch up this weekend.

I'm off to Chicago tomorrow night for the MBA Forum. All of the

schools I plan on applying to will be there, so I can meet people

from each institution in one fell swoop.

Now...the GMAT. First of all, I'm glad it is over. My unofficial

score is a 650 (on a scale of 200 to 800), which is the 85th

percentile overall. The average GMATs of last year's class at the

business schools I am applying to are 643, 620, 660, and 632. That

puts me above the average at three of the four schools and very close

to the average on the other one. I scored in the 90th percentile on

the Verbal part of the test and 61st percentile on the Math part of

the test. I was disappointed in my math performance simply because I

had done better on practice tests. I was thrilled with the verbal

results.

Overall, the perfectionist in me would have LOVED a higher

score...BUT, if somebody would have told me last week that I was

going to get a 650 on the test, I would have been thrilled. I guess

that just means I have to stop being so critical of myself, huh? LOL

Again, thanks for the support.

however you did on your test is great, cuz like I tell my youngest

daughter..as long as you know you are giving 100pc thats all you can

<sigh> UT Austin is the one that is the 660. That is the school I

really want to go to. I did do some reading today that indicated

that my score should be fine at just 10 points below their average.

We'll see!!

Kathy,

GMAT is a standardized test that people applying to Graduate Business

Schools have to take. It stands for Graduate Management Admissions

Test. I'm applying for MBA (Masters in Business Administration)

programs beginning Fall 2001. I want to attend a program where I can

focus on a concentration in eCommerce. Thanks for your kind words.

Susi,

Yes don't worry about the UT-Austin average because they TRY to take out of

staters in the Grad School. They want the Grad school population to be very

diverse.

Who kows Susi can get in......no prob

Susi, I missed your first post about your score. Congratulations! All that

preparation paid off. Schools look at some many thing. The average test

score is just one thing. I'm sure all your career experience will weigh

heavily in your application. Good luck on the applications. I don't envy

you there. At least there is something exciting to look forward to.
