  1. Hi! I Strongly suggest you NOT to put your foot in two boats at a time. Ask yourself what you really want to be, be focussed and then work towards the goal. Look at your strengths and things that make you unique....and then choose a path for yourself. Believe me, it makes life much easier!!! All the Best :)
  2. First of all Erin, i am glad that your first experience with Indians was a nice one. I am again very happy to know that you are impressed with certain Indian qualities. Infact i should say that you are a keen obeserver. All the things you mentioned infact mean a lot to us. Erin, i don't think that by now you need to worry as to how your comments will be taken. We all at Testmagic know the amount of efforts you put in to empower us. Regards Arti Arti Gupta
  3. Hello Everybody I would like to add something to the discussion. 1. The mistake of using "abt" instead of "about" and "u" instead of "you" is undoubtedly because of chatting. Infact i face this problem even when i draft an official letter. But then i always do a spelling revision and am improving upon it. This mistake is nowhere related to being an Indian. I think that anybody who is hooked to the net will commit same mistakes. Maybe we Indians are more technology savvy :). 2. Regarding the mistake of "not hitting the space bar" and "using he" etc....I feel that we Indians are in a confused state at times. As everybody know that our country was ruled by Britishers for over 200 years, they have left big imprints on our language and culture. And now with the changing times, US English is also popular. And TOEFL is a test of US English. So, coping between British English, US English, Indian English and our mother tongue Hindi is little hard for any student. This is how i feel. I might be wrong in other people's views. If any of my friends feel the same, please post back. Regards Arti Gupta
  4. Hi Erin Ya....i am not active on Testmagic these days. Actually i just joined my new job. Its a start up, so the job is pretty taxing and when i come back at 9 in the night, i really don't have the stamina to stare at the monitor most of the times. Apart from that i need to spend time with family as well. so..i hv been away from posting. but i do read most of them :-) hey! good that you have talked clearly about the DSL connection. I am sure it'll help a lot of people. Infact my brother in California also gets this problem frequently. His provider is SBC Global i guess. Anyways, take care Regards Arti Gupta
  5. Hey Erin! Don't worry....i am sure all of us understand that if the Magician is not responding, there has to be some critical reason. And....don't overwork yourself. Take Good Care :) Arti Gupta
  6. Great Explanation Erin! Arti Gupta
  7. Thanks Erin. I'll remember this. Can u pls. tell me somethinga bout University of Illinois at Chicago? I could not gather much about its reputation, so though of asking you. Regards Arti Gupta
  8. Hi Erin Thanks for the reply. I'll mail them today and let you know. In the mean time i was wondering that u must be knowing a few adcoms. Can u check with them, the relevance of this info and the effects if it does not match the original score reported in my transcripts? Regards Arti Gupta
  9. Hey! one more thing Erin...... Can i request them, not to mention anything in the field of GPA and other undergrad details? REgards Arti Gupta
  10. Hi Erin Thanks for the response. i'll surely mail them and post back if i get a reply. regards Arti Gupta
  11. Hi Erin I have a rather unusual kind of problem. Today i got my official GMAT score card and it says that my "SELF REPORTED UNDERGRADUATE GPA" is 3.9 I do not remeber when did i report my GPA. Maybe they have taken it from the survery questions we get at the end of the GMAT. But i do not recall that i mentioned it as 3.9. My GPA is 3.2 in real. Anyways, whats happened has happened. We can't really undo it. Now i have the following queries: 1. Will this wrong GPA hamper my application in any way? 2. Should i mention anywhere in my application like essays etc that the GPA mentined in my report is wrong?? Pls guide me. Regards Arti Gupta
  12. This is in fact a very good idea Erin. Actually i thought of posting my essay and asking your comment, but the same thought came to my mind, that a lot of people will read it. So, this idea is a perfect one. Regards Arti Gupta
  13. You are simply GREAT Raghuveer. Surely an Awesome score. All the Best for your future. Arti Gupta
  14. You are most welcome My Dear. I am sure we all would be more than happy to answer all of them. :) Cheers!! Arti Gupta
  15. Hi Erin This is a Hindi language word for "buddy".:) Since i was communicating with Raghuveer who is from India, i used it. Arti Gupta
  16. My suggestion.......YOU TYPE YOUR ESSAY. Just be careful to press the CONFIRM ANSWER button. and don't worry you will get used to pressing the button by the time u reach the essay section. just be cool and ALL THE BEST. Arti Gupta
  17. Hi Erin Couple of days back, isha and i had posted a query, but didn't hear from you. or maybe i missed the answer and now i can't locate it. so i am asking again..... Will it make a bad impression on adcoms if we apply to a large number of schools. They will know the schools we are applying to thro' the GMAT score card and a lot of then even ask the names of other schools. Waiting to hear from you. Arti Gupta
  18. Raguveer, you are unneccessary working yourself and adding to your confusions. There's no need to get so worked up. Be cool. And even if you get a topic, you don't know much about........don't worry.....Just plan and write in a proper essay format. One of my friends got the essay - "Most important plant"......he was blank on it.......still managed to get 270. So just COOL IT YAAR!. Arti Gupta
  19. TAKE GOOD CARE ERIN. Arti Gupta
  20. Erin, i did not useth red book. Mine was some other. Don't remember the name now. But that was pretty good. Arti Gupta
  21. Hi Isha I can tell you what all i did. I read 1. Barrons 2. Kaplan book and software 3. Arco's book and software 4. Powerprep software and then tried a few questions that are available free for GMAt on the net. I really likes Kaplan's software. I got 660. Arti Gupta
  22. Hi Lorenzo CONGARTULATIONS. Thats a GREAT score. Regarding GMAT and TOEFL essays..... GMAT has 2 essays. one is Analysis of Issue. This is similar to TOEFL. Second is Analysis of Argument. This is very different and u need to practice 2-3 essays yourself to get the feel of it. By the way don't bother for the essay part much in your TOEFL as it is not counted in the final score. Your AWA scores are sent separately to every university. And they don't bother for it unless and until its too bad. All the best for your GMAT. I am sure you will shine thro' :) Arti Gupta
  23. Hi MAdhvi Could you please tell your location in India?? Arti Gupta
  24. Hi Raghuveer In Delhi center, the headphones supplied had a button to adjust the volume. But i don't knoe if thats the standard or its just by chance in Delhi. You will get to know of it before the test begins. So don't worry. HTH arti Arti Gupta
  25. Erin, i would also like to know about this. Waiting for your answer. Regards Arti Gupta
