Here are a few tips to save you time and $:
1. Undergrads qualify for a $100 discount off the #GMAT exam. Scores are good for 5 years.
2. For women and minorities, I strongly recommend programs like Forté Foundation, MLT, and The Consortium. The networking and resources through these programs are ACE.
Forté provides app fee waivers for their partner schools, including MIT Sloan School of Management, Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management, INSEAD, and The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
If you apply to two or more schools, the program pays for itself ($500). I’m currently going through the Forté program now and it is well worth it!
3. There are tons and tons of free resources for the GMAT. You don’t need to pay serious $ for a tutor, online packages, and books.
I think you can score a 700+ for FREE.
Get access to my mega-folder of FREE GMAT resources (packed with thousands of practice problems, webinars, eBooks, practice exams, and more) by subscribing to my newsletter. The Mega-GMAT Resources folder lives here.
4. ApplicantLab completely eliminates the need for a b-school consultant. I’m a huge fan of this disruptive and super affordable resource to help complete your applications. I’m currently using the software to complete my own applications.
Yes, they have a free trial. Test it out :).
I’ve negotiated a promo code with ApplicantLab to pass on more savings to you.
