<p>Hey I'm a HS senior yea I'm not even in college yet. But I know I want to do business school, it's in my blood. So stuff like the GMAT I want to get out of the way now but doing maybe 30 minutes of practice a day. (I'm that kid whose parents made me do SAT practice since 5th grade, I kid you not, 5th GRADE!) it did help .. until the CB effed me over with this 'new SAT' bs. Anyway what is the GMAT like? I heard that I should start reading stuff (based on the posts I have seen in this forum) but what should I read? Books, newspapers, The Economist?</p>
<p>Going to college first will help. No kidding.</p>
<p>I'm on that, Writing essays, 1520 on SATs excluding writing, I think I will go to Wake Forest since I will probably get financial aid or scholarships from there or so the AdCom told me</p>
<p>but its the summer and I'm bored and need something to do, parties get old after the first month</p>
<p>yeah, you're jumping the gun a little here... go to college first, and you may learn that business isn't as in your blood as you think. You may also learn that being overwhelmingly prepared for the GMAT won't do you much good... for instance, a person I know did better on the GMAT (over 700) by simply learning the format of the test than another person who studied for a year before taking it--and ended up with a 660.</p>
<p>Don't prepare yet. For all you know, the test could change radically between now and when you take it. Just go to college and party like a rockstar.</p>
<p>I live in Westchester NY = I already party like a rock star, I don't know if you live in the North East but here all my friends are Italians, and Italians know a thing or two about partying, lol google "lee hotti"</p>
<p>anyway yea I think I will just review some basic concepts like grammar, and essay writing/arguing a point stuff that I should learn anyway</p>
<p>I would go to college, get good grades so that you can get a good job after college, work hard for 4-5 years, and start thinking about the GMAT during the last year or two of working before you plan to apply to business school. It takes a lot more than a high GMAT score to get into a top business school.</p>
