This post has nothing to do with the MBA or the GMAT - although if I felt like being creative I’m sure i could form some kind of tie in. BUT in reality, this is a shameless plug for a friend of a friend who is trying to launch a video game to help stop [...]
I finally received word from my state school. I will be class of 2012! I am so excited. I am getting a scholarship, full tuition and fees!

I didn’t take the Focalin on Saturday or Sunday. I noticed a huge difference in my ability to study for the GMAT. The previous weekend, I took the medication on both days, and I made huge progress in my studying. Not only did I study for longer periods of time, but I comprehended things much [...]
