GMAT experience and Post GMAT Blues

Apologies for the long absence folks. I took my GMAT in wee hours of May and scored a 700. Pretty much an even split with a perfect score in AWA. For prep, I believe the KAPLAN 800 Sentence correction and actual solutions to its answers were helpful in broadly categorizing the SC types and what to look for... for math, i think MGMAT tests are very relevant and good for practice...
ofcourse, do the OGs as well...the questions from the end /back are the ones that are the hardest...
One thing that I did really well in Math was time management... i did not spend too much time on any one question so that i didnt have to leave a bunch in the end... (ended up randomly guessing the last two quant questions... with a 48 ... i am happy)

Mulling the fact that I could have been 20 points higher, but a few rattling questions in verbal brought down the score.

Anyways, so far, I am content with what I have, but I dont know, something in me might push me towards a retake. But I am okay now.

A few schools have released their deadlines. I am thinking of applying to atmost 8 schools this year and want to pipeline my applications in such a way that if I get into one of the schools in R1, I'll remove some schools from my R2 app.

These days, trying to reflect on what matters most to me and why... along with the why MBA part... need to have a cohesive story...

these are the updates from my side... would be more regular from now on...
