bugsbeans Likes Earned: 4 Yes of course. Originally I had a 650 GMAT, with Quant being the lowest portion. I then took the GRE, focusing my studying on Quant and got a 165Q 151V. Once I uploaded that score I got the call the next day. Additional things I did: completed and uploaded MBA Math, Letter of Interest, additional Letter of Recommendation, and kept in contact with admissions for updates at work / testing. (1)

anon17117 Likes Earned: 50 Hi again, I believe the DM message did work somehow, so I'll ask here if you don't mind: how long did it take for you to prepare for the GRE exam? Was this score your first try? (0)

bugsbeans Likes Earned: 4 About 2 months of studying, and yes. I used PrepSwift to study and was only halfway through studying everything on there- so I think it did a great job teaching fundamentals. (1)
