Our Future Year Scholars Program application cycle is in full swing! The first of three Future Year application deadlines (1 March) is right around the corner, and yesterday, Admissions Committee member, Katherine Alford, and Eric Chambers of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), hosted a GMAT Overview webinar. A recording of the webinar is linked below.
This session is a great introduction to the GMAT, and there are a number of compelling reasons to consider taking the test as an undergraduate student. For example, you are already in test mode and, in many ways, you are at the peak of your test-taking powers. In addition, much of the test content is fresher to you now than it will be several years from now. And your scores will be valid for five years after the test administration. There is even a $100 discount for college students (see the latter half of the webinar recording for additional details). Want to learn more? Click here to access a free GMAT Starter Kit.
