What’s the GMAT first ?
GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is one of the few requirements for a MBA admission. Maybe should be the first step. Basically the steps to apply for MBA are :
- GMAT
- essays ( you make up stories of your professional accomplishments )
- recommandation letters
- interviews
I purchased “How to get to the top MBA programs” by Richard Montauk, but I haven’t digged into much . However I know most Business schools require the 4 above steps. If someone has a summary 
What’s GMATRayview for ?
I started this blog as a way to share my preparation and all the materials for an MBA . Past year one post-PHD friend was a rat-lab, she opened a blog to share her marathon training labs and for fund-raising her cause : Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It kept her focus with a goal. The pre-MBA admission is like a marathon too, it takes a long preparation at least 18 months between the moment you start digging into it and the moment you ‘re admitted.
My interest in mobile developement (Android platform) had instilled me into an entrepreneurship. While there’s still of materials on amazon.com or great ressources on the web, I find there’s lack on Android devices (and iPhone) . Sharing knowledge belongs to the programmer & open source culture. While commuting I want to invest this time on the GMAT experience. This side project is perfect for me as it combines Android , GMAT, MBA, business schools (I’ll share the visit of some here)
So GMATRayview is a GMAT test running on any Android devices.
For non-geeky , Android is an OS by Google used in mobile phones . So if you don’t own any devices running Android, this blog can still provide insights.
Entrepreneurship
This project is an experiment with few € invested. I want to avoid the classic start up conundrum :
- great idea
- search for investors
- monetize ?? we don’t figure out to make money
In my head the typical picture of an entrepreneur is someone who drops out of school and builds one’s business. Incompatible with an MBA ? No, education still helps but it doesn’t make a career.
