CatalinaN is on the way!
Hi guys... Erin, I agree with you, this is a study site...

Dyoh, nope, I did better on my practice tests, so yes, I think that everybody's theory on how nerves killed me is right.

I left a couple of days to rest and now I am back on the study road. At the present moment I am working on a different study plan.... I am making my own notes to all the math subjects that I need to work on (since math is my weakest link), instead of just reading those concepts, that way I am making a good research on all those subjects and I am also getting a deeper knowledge of all those subjects, because I am becoming an active student instead of the passive student that I was for the test (which is against my regular study method, which I am following right now) In your case, I think that by studying everyday or almost everyday for just a little while will help you a lot, I am also working with consistency because that was part of my failure.

On the other hand, I totally agree with you about Piero's comment, I didn't want to start controversy, but I think that his comment was a little racist in some kind of way. The fact is that I want to be admitted in a good business school, because of who I am, not just for where I was born, or my genre... demographics is a reality, that we all have to deal in a different way, to some people it can be a little help, to others it isn't, but what is true about demographics is that real talent and smart people will can't hide under that curtain because they will be somehow discovered one way or another.
