For those of my readers who are still in the planning phase of their MBA journey it will be very beneficial to learn about the GMAT Scholarship offered by Beatthegmat.com.
Beat the GMAT (BTG) is one of the few internet sites that provide a unique community platform not only for those who are yet aspiring to embark on the MBA experience, but also for those who are already plowing through the rigors of the business school.
I have been perusing their vast free resources and community knowledge at the time of my preparation for GMAT. But it also proved to be quite useful in other aspects of my application process for MBA. So don’t let the name of the site to mislead you. It maybe started as a place for sharing GMAT preparation knowledge, but over the years evolved into something much bigger than that.
I personally appreciate a very supportive and amicable spirit of a close-knit community on Beat the GMAT. If you have been a member of any forums on the internet you have most likely experienced trolling, flaming and other behavioral fallouts mainly caused by anonymous nature of the internet. On the forums of beatthegmat.com you will find support for your intellectual quest first, but also just friendly advice and encouragement from the like-minded members.
The forum and other resources of BTG have earned great reputation with the pre-MBA community at large. That’s why they have been able to establish partnerships with many highly-acknowledged GMAT Preparation companies: Grockit, Kaplan, Knewton, Manhattan GMAT, The Princeton Review, and Veritas Prep. For the four previous years Beat the GMAT in co-operation with these companies has been offering the GMAT scholarship, and this year the GMAT Scholarship Competition is back. Taking part in this competition offers a great opportunity to win a free online or in-class GMAT preparation course offered by these companies. Moreover, they will even pay your GMAT test fee! There will be six people selected to receive a prize this year and the competition ends on May 20, 2010. So hurry up, and shoot for the prize! Visit their site for more information: Beat The GMAT Scholarship Competition.

Thank you so much for writing that very nice blog post about the Beat The GMAT Scholarship and also the Beat The GMAT community! I’m honored that our website has your endorsement, it means a lot!
Please keep up the good work with this blog. There are very few student sites like this that talk about life as a part-time MBA student. Your website will serve as a very important artifact for future generations of business school applicants and students.
Thanks again and all the best!
Thank you, Eric!
Keep up the great job with Beat the GMAT!
