Been There, Done That, Got The T-Shirt

Welcome to the weekly newseltter from Merchant GMAT. If you do not receive this email and want it in your inbox every week then simply go to the homepage and fill out this form at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!


This week we seek the best tips and advice about the GMAT and the MBA from former students. Those people who have been there, done it and got the t-shirt.

We start with our recent interview with Merchant Alumni Alejandro Echevarri. He is a huge advocate of seeking advice from people who had been through the GMAT process and the MBA, and is not the only member of the MBA community covered in this newsletter to talk about the importance of networking (the topic of last weeks newsletter).

After that we have Drew and Virgil via YouTube, who give us a very funny and informative video about what they learned from their first year doing their MBAs.

Next our friends over at Forbes.com give us the results of a survey they carried out with recent MBA graduates and concentrate it into 13 tips to succeed in a top MBA program.

Finally we have GMAT tips from three MBA students who got 700+ from Imperial College London in the UK.

Enjoy and thanks for reading!

CEO & Co-Founder

- "Preparing for the GMAT and applying for an MBA requires a tremendous commitment, and that doesn’t take into consideration the personal challenges our students must face when deciding if they want to leave their friends, families, and native cultures behind to advance their careers abroad. An MBA is not for everyone and that’s precisely what makes this advanced degree so valuable. 

For these reasons, we at Merchant only work with students we are confident have what it takes to succeed throughout the preparation and application processes.

Given an increased demand in our services, we do not have the ability to offer free consultation services to unserious applicants.
