GMAT Strategy Workshop Offered October 27

GMAT Strategy Workshop Offered October 27
Stephanie Espy, founder and president of Atlanta-based MathSP Strategies and Problem-Solving, leads the GMAT workshop at Howard L. Hawks Hall on October 27.
The College of Business at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln will offer a GMAT Strategy Workshop on Saturday, October 27, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Led by Stephanie Espy, founder and president of Atlanta-based MathSP Strategies and Problem-Solving, the workshop prepares prospective graduate students for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). The GMAT measures verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills for graduate admission and Espy explains learning strategies and approaches to provide a competitive edge.
 
Named one of the four inspiring women in STEM by The Huffington Post, Espy discusses ways to decode the computer-adaptive scoring model, how to develop and execute on verbal and quantitative strategies, and tips on how to prepare a study plan to conquer the GMAT.
 
“Through this workshop, Stephanie will help you write a personal plan to get a strong score or improve your former score on the GMAT test,” said Dr. Jake Messersmith, executive director of graduate programs and associate professor of management in the College of Business. “She works through all the sections of the test and helps you become more efficient in answering the questions.”
 
Students interested in jump-starting their GMAT prep should register for the GMAT Strategy Workshop at: https://business.unl.edu/gmat by Wednesday, October 24. The registration fee is $125 and includes The 2018 Official Guide for GMAT Review book, continental breakfast and a comprehensive GMAT information packet. If participants already own the book, registration is $90.
 
“The test-taking tips were very helpful and essential to my preparation,” said Tyrell Ross ’18, an MBA graduate and past workshop participant. “Once you know how to approach certain questions, the amount of time needed to answer specific questions decreases significantly.”
 
Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. with a continental breakfast provided after check-in. Parking can be found at the 14th and Avery Parking Garage. If you have questions, please call the staff in the Business Graduate Programs office at 402-472-2338.
 
An official score on the GMAT is one of the admissions requirements for the College of Business master’s and doctoral programs including the highly-ranked MBA program. Designed for students with a bachelor’s degree in any field, students can earn their MBA on-campus and online.
 
Four other master’s programs offered at Nebraska require a GMAT score. They include: the online master of science in business analytics, the online master of science in finance, the master of arts in business with a specialization in intercollegiate athletics administration (MAIAA) and the master of professional accountancy (MPA).
