Manhattan GMAT was created in response to the growing demand for truly high quality GMAT preparation. Business school admissions is more competitive than ever; in fact, recent US News & World Report business school rankings illustrate that the top 15 American business schools now accept a mere 10 and 20% of their applicants.  Additionally, the applicant pool is stronger than ever. One amazing statistic attesting to this fact is that the average student accepted by a top 15 b-school today has scored in the 90th percentile or better on the GMAT.

Our mission at Manhattan GMAT is to provide students with the skills and strategies essential for success, given today's higher standards for what defines a competitive GMAT score.  We have no magic formula, no silver bullet, no empty guarantees. Instead, we have three basic principles that we believe separate us from the test preparation monoliths:

1. Focus – we teach the GMAT and only the GMAT.

 

2. Strategy – Our approach involves materials and lessons that teach and reinforce traditional solution techniques as well as short cuts.  Students are able to develop and put into practice multiple resources for each type of problem and thus achieve a higher level of mastery.

 

3. Teaching – more than anything, teaching excellence is the key to our success.  As such, Manhattan GMAT handpicks its small groups of experts who have 99% Official GMAT scores, teaching experience, and a high level of commitment to education.  We also pay them accordingly, up to four times what other test prep companies pay.
