A dream comes true...

Read Jeff Sackmann's article, " 750 or Bust! ", and cannot deny the fact that it left me on a high, specially the paragraph where he writes...

" You'd probably agree that it's important to have realistic goals. To set such goals, you need to know something about the goals you're setting ... and I suspect that a lot of people pick their target GMAT score without knowing enough about the challenges ahead.

I say this because I've been hearing from an awful lot of people lately who are determined to score a 750 on the GMAT. That's a 98th percentile score--and, in case you needed reminding, it's curved against a very, very motivated pool of fellow test-takers.

Now, I don't want to discourage anyone from shooting for the stars. But it's important to recognize a few things.

First, no business school in the world has a median GMAT score above 720. That means every single MBA program you could possibly be applying to is accepting half of their applicants with GMAT scores below 720. " 

I wrote my GMAT today and scored 750 with a maximum achievable 51 in the Quantitative Section and a 39 in the Verbal Section.

It has been a long cherished dream to do my MBA from the hallowed institutions of the world and finally...
Finally I have an opportunity to do so...

I sojourn on to pursue my dreams as you pursue yours...
