I do want to get into software development. I'm not particular interested in a Phd. Are there any other masters level programs out there that don't require an undergraduate degree in computer science/math/engineering? Are there any other programs that will take the GMAT instead of the GRE?

I have dual undergrad degrees in finance and economics and have worked in banking for the past 3 years. I am interested in a masters in computer science program and found the University of Chicago Computer Science Professional Program (CSPP). I haven't heard anything mentioned on these forums about the CSPP, so I was wondering what you all thought about it. Also, do you have other recomendations for masters programs that don't require a CS undergrad degree? Thanks!

Has anyone heard of Seth Godin's new alternative MBA? He went to Stanford for his MBA, but has been outspoken about what's wrong with most MBA programs today. It sounds like a good opportunity....what do you all think? These is a summary: Oh, and did I mention there is NO GMAT requirement!! Too bad I didn't know this after countless hours on these forums and countless more hours studying and taking the GMAT (twice I might add). Hopefully this is the right opportunity for some of you in here. What do you think? Is this legit?

The smaller jar is the one that has a larger percentage filled up when the water is poured in, thus the jar that is 1/3 filled. Because the same amount of water is poured into each jar, when the water from the jar that is filled to 1/3 capacity is transferred to the jar filled with 1/4 capacity, the 1/4 capacity has an additional 1/4 amount fo water added to it. Thus, the jar with the larger capacity is 1/4 plus 1/4 or 1/2 filled with water.

Will you please further explain? I don't understand how you are coming up with only multiples of three between 1 and 30. I thought it should be between 1 and 30!. Thanks.

An easier divisibility rule for 4 and 8: A number is divisible by 4 if you can cut it in half twice (if it is divisible by 2 twice). For example: 64 is divisible by 4 because (64/2) = 32 and (32/2) =16'' You can cut it in half twice, therfore it is divisible by 4. A number is divisible by 8 if you can cut it in half 3 times. For example: 64 is divisible by 8 because (64/2) = 32 and (32/2) =16 and (16/2) = 8 Hope that helps!

I have heard that the actual quantitative questions seen on the real test are *MUCH* more difficult than those seen in the OG11 guide and on the GMATPrep. Does anyone have some insight on this?

Thanks for sharing this! I am in a very similar situation, although I haven't taken the actual test yet. I consistently score in the top 10% on the verbal sections of the practice tests and get between the 70th and 80th percentile on the quant sections. I would be very interested to hear more about what you do between now and your next test to improve your math score. Also, have you looked at the GMAT sets or the MJJ's? If so, were they the types of questions that you saw on the real test?
