Hitting the books

So I am trying to make serious plans about going to graduate school.
My sister wants to go to Lamar, and I want to go back to the place my heart calls home.

Just seems to make sense in my mind to make the leap of faith.

But I am intimidated by the GMAT.

There. I admitted it.

I wouldn't take the SAT in high school because it scared the crap out of me. So I took the ACT.
I don't have an option like that now. I have to bite the bullet so to speak, and take this test.

My last fall semester I took the business ETS test. This is kind of like an exit exam the school uses to benchmark itself against other schools in the nation.
I scored in the top 25% of the nation without even trying.

I hope the GMAT is similar to that test, because I am confident I can make a score that would get me into the MBA program.

But I won't know unless I cough up the $250 and take the test.

I get the money back if I take the GMAT at Lamar & enter Lamar's MBA program, so that's not a bad deal.
Did I mention I earned that because of my ETS score? Yea, I felt pretty awesome when the dean handed me that award.

I have to write TWO essays for my application as well. Something I can't really say I am looking foward to. They require a lot of thought. My brain hasn't really had to put together such kind of essays in quite a while, so I'm a little rusty.

So I am officially setting goals for myself.
I need to have my essays & application completed by March 1st.
I need to have registered for the GMAT by March 20th.
I need to have completed the GMAT by May 15th.

So here we go again....
