tarun, Since we do not know the production cost and the selling price, we cannot say that E is true. we just know that pepper is in short supply and the price of pepper has been soared. THAT IS IT. let's say the production cost went from 2- 10 dollars and the selling price went from 9-11 dollars. That actually contradicts E. E is just an assumption, not an inference.

The strategy that I would follow is 1. finish SC questions as fast possible; within 35 -50 seconds if possible. 2. Use the extra time gained in SC to use in RC 3. Finish CR in 2-3 minutes depending on the difficulty level. You see the trick is, you need to read fast and still read very very very attentively. How come that is possible? well for some people it is possible, for the most it is not. You need to define the purpose then. SC : is all about pattern recognition. If you are fast to recognize pattern, 99% of the job is done. Purpose is : recognize pattern as soon as possible. CR: all about reading attentively. Purpose: Do not rush, do not scramble. take your time. These are not the questions to show off how fast you can read. RC: Now you can show off your WPM. reading with maximum speed with comprehension. this requires practice which develops with practice. and the funny thing is it is very much doable. If you could read 350 words per minute with great comprehension, RC is dudu.

Bull Sh*t: Maximum allowable production levels of pollution for industrial concerns are usually determined in legislation that is based in large part on the recommendations of scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency. Premise 1: Industrial concerns must pay a fine that is proportional to the level of pollution that exceeds the limit, and this proportion should be revised every year based on the number of firms that exceeded the limit the year before to maximize the penalties assessed to polluters. 1. Fine in $$$ proportional to amount of pollution 2. if more company exceeds limit than last year-> then revision. We do not know how many though. Premise 2: However, the revision process usually occurs less frequently than once a year because lobbyists for industrial concerns usually persuade the government to hold off so as to avoid having to pay increased fines for pollution. - this premise is actually there to trick you. If the statements above are true, which of the following describes a situation in which a revision should occur?-- no problem.. sit down :) (A) A dozen fewer firms were over the limit, but their total pollution over the limit increased over the last year. this brakes No.2 of Premise 1. -- gone -- (B) Two more firms exceeded the limit than the year before, but the net level of pollution over the limit decreased. ***good. this goes according to No.2 of Premise 1 where we have more farms exceeding the limit than last year. so a revision should occur. © No more firms went over the limit than the year before, but the amount of total pollution over the year before went up. --why the hell would we have a revision then?? -- out -- (D) No firms were over the limit, and total pollution decreased by about forty percent from the year before. same reason for C - out -- (E) Several fewer firms were over the limit than the year before, and the total pollution over the limit decreased accordingly according to No.2 in Premise 1 we need more farms to go over the limit that last year to have a revision. -- gone -- SO B IS THE ANSWER.

I have been going through some of the posts in this respective topic and cannot help but post this thread to discuss some interesting findings. Admin, if this crosses the line, I beg the pardon. I am seeing a lot of threads such as " should I apply?" , " please evaluate me". " what are my chances??" , " should I go for an MBA or MS?", " what should I do?", " what are my chances?" As I was going through the threads, I constantly wondered ' is this an MBA admission forum?' 'am i sure?" if someone cannot decide what he should do, if someone does not have the slightest clue where he should apply and what is his purpose to do MBA or MS for that matter then how come he can be a good manager? I am actually out of words. Most people in this forum are very smart with good GMAT scores and good GPA still does not know his purpose. Alas!

"do not poke the bear" unless you are asked to do so :)

GMATbong said it all :)

this post is my $.02 cent. awesome post. thank you :)

Business is all about image and USA/Europe has a better image than Canada in terms of MBA as Canada has a better image than Australian in the same respect.

very inspiring thread. :) "Do not stop dreaming... no matter what"

May I ask why your AWA score is not up to par? is it because you did not study for it or you followed a particular template that did not work?

Although there is co-op for this particular MBA, managing a job offer by yourself is a bit over optimistic. Many universities use this co-op option as an advertisement scheme ( like UVic) to attract foreign students. And more foreign students means more differential fee and more differential fee means $$$$$$$$$$. I would rather not waste my time for an MBA like this one. You better do good in job, get some professional certification or go for an MBA in a better school.

in addition to gsm_73's comments, I would like to add that it is better to ask as early as possible when they have enough fund. So if you have an early acceptance, do it right away. Otherwise, if you ask for it afterwards, though they want to give you money, if they do not have it, they will be helpless.

McGill, unless I get assistance ship from Concordia, then it is a whole different ball game.

interesting news. but I do not get it. The story could have been more interesting if the hacker had been able to make changes admission decision in the system.

I am also interested about Notre Dame. Can anyone shed some light on it? I am also interested how much GMAT is required for assistance ship .

I am also in the same dilemma. I cannot decide whether I should do an MBA from USA/CA or IBA ( Institute of Business Administration, DU) :) :drunk:

it is always a good idea to do part time MBA. Going out of the job market and coming back again is a real challenge. Plus, when you do part time MBA, not only you complete your degree , but also you get 2-3 years of work experience. Moreover, it is easy on your wallet too since you are earning while studying. Many universities offer weekend long courses where you take a course one week long and finish it. You can take time off from work and finish your course thereby. However, part time MBA is blessed with less family time, more stress and 2-3 years of 'having no life'.

never heard of it.

York is a good uni. no worries

There is an old fable. Here it goes: Once there was a mad person playing with mud by the river side. A police officer was trying to cross the river from the other side over a bridge made of bamboo, which was fragile. While he is half way there, the police office shouted to the mad person " Hey,,,, Hey... DO NOT jerk the bridge. I am crossing the river." The mad person looked at the police officer and thought " wow.. what a wonderful game it would be if I jerk the bridge" and he started jerking the bridge made of bamboo. As a result, the police officer fell and drown. Moral: " do not poke the bear" If undergraduate GPA is your thing , do not mention it, unless you are specifically asked to do so.

one school I know is - MIT

it depends on where you are graduating from. If you are graduating from UofT , the pay package will be enormous. If you are graduating from Saint Mary's University, the pay package is constant - $0 . Business is all about Image. Therefore, a US MBA looks good on your resume, more alluring to your client, hence has a better image than a Canadian MBA.

Mitesh: I would actually work on my GMAT, take couple of years more to get more experience. Not only it will give me more work experience, but also it will give me enough time to make a stellar 700+ score on GMAT. There is something that is not in your control and that is your GPA. so do not worry about it.

Apart from Stanford and Wharton, I think it is your best bet to talk to your respective, potential school directly.

another way to boost your GPA ( if you are that much worried ) is to take a second-degree. However, it will take almost 2 years to complete your second degree. if you decide to go for second degree, pick a subject matter ( major ) that you find too easy and make sure you do not flunk this time. all in all I do not think it is really worthwhile spending 2 more years just for the sake of GPA.
