我可以做到吗？目标650+，一战300+， 二战240

各位亲爱的G友，我可以做到吗？目标650+，一战300+， 二战240

我的情况：

9 岁开始就打羽毛球，后来成了专业的羽毛球运动员，12-16岁一半的时间在训练，16 岁考进了一所体育学院，读了5年书拿了个体育大专文凭，2001毕业以后就一直在一家IC设计公司做行政和HR， 在国内的时候英语没有过过级。2005年来美国，词汇量不超过300，来了以后在Harvard Extension 上了一个学期英文。 因为我和一个美国妈妈住在一起，所以我的口语和听力很好。 后来做过两个工作，都是在医院，做了行政和接线员，一个是很小的华人医院，另一个是都是美国的一个大医院。 今年一月，辞去了工作，因为我不想一辈子都只当个接线员，做一些不要用脑袋的工作。因为我在MIT打羽毛球，Harvard近在咫尺，身边的动不动都遇到什么Harvard， MIT PHD，B-school 的人，他们羡慕我打球打得好，我常常告诉他们我要是和你们一样会读书就更好了。我一直觉得读MBA对我而言是可望而不及的，美国妈妈告诉我美国给每个人公平的机会，她许诺出钱让我读书，只要我愿意读，她永远支持我，帮助我实现我的梦想。 于是，我下定决心试试。 全职在家复习，6 月考了第一次G， 300+  很绝望， 8月考了T， 523（听力满分，作文4.5，语法和阅读差， 但是至少找回了一点信心），11/12（昨天）二战G，240-真是心如刀割，哭了一整晚，不知道下一步该怎么走。

已经submited application to Boston unversity without G and T score. 我相信像我这样背景的人一定很少人，或许我就不应该太高估自己可以做和那些名校毕业人一样的事情。。。 可是我真的很想再试一次。。。美国妈妈很支持我，这是她给我写的email 里的 话 “RETHINK WITH AN OPEN MIND, WHAT YOU DID, IT DID NOT WORK TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU WANT. You did the work I just gave you the opportunity. All I did was pay the bills, I made you do the work and helped when I could.—— 我是不是该争气点啊！！！

接下来，我该怎么做？ 想去报个Kaplan 的培训班，又不知道有没有什么帮助，but i have to do something different, 一个埋头苦读一点进步也没有。。。 希望看了我的贴的你，给我点建议。。。

谢谢！！

yoyo_sa：
是的，我的数学不好，考前大量做了JJ， 基本每个题都没有放过，把10月的jj, 117 页，打印出来一题做， 可是考出来的结果我自己都不敢相信，也遇到了几题jj 但是我想大概都是 大家的前10 题。yoyo_sa me 对复习数学还有什么建议吗？mm 什么时候考试？

I really don't think that there is a quick fix for your GMAT, and, even if you did, you may have trouble in MBA program.  My suggestion is to take several courses such as English as second language and some courses related to b-school such as finance, economics, statistics, and calculus from a community or state college (check with your b-school and ask their recomendation, and ask friends).  Because you have a 体育大专文凭 (unless you have a good GMAT score, b-school will think that you may have troubles to finish b-school), these courses will boost your chance to go to MBA program.

JJ只是知道有这些题，但是前提是自己要会做。。。基础知识不懂，只知道JJ好像用处不大额。

就像楼上说的，以后读MBA的话也是有问题的

我12.10考，不过也是一垂死挣扎的人。。。

I agree with Whitney: MBA is not always the best way to fulfill one's achievement - remember to be true to yourself and exploit your potential resources. Good luck!

To Whitney:

Thank you for your sugesstions! I think that is what i have to do, I took an ESL course at Harvard summer school 2 years ago, but i only finished a low level couse for a semester, i did not go back because i think that the course was too easy for me, i guess it is time for to go back again, and try the higher level ESL courses this time.
I did took a project mangerment course at one of the university near by my house, and i found out that my English level was not enough to reach what i need for the course...

I know i need to reorganize my career, make a plan that will best fix with my current situation.

Thank you so much again for your sugesstions. Wish you all the best.

To Winterfish,

Thank you for your replying, i had always wished that my studying will be as good as my badminton skills...  Unfortunatly not... i felt that it is very hard for somebody like me to change a complete different career, do what i am trying to do...  I don't know whatelse i need to achive my gold, maybe more time...

To yoyo_sa:

我这种菜鸟没有什么可以帮助你的。只能给你-加油！ 相信你一定可以的!

我昨天晚上去了Kaplan的培训中心，花了做3 小时做了他们的diagnostic exam, 大概明天就可以知道成绩了，等成绩出来以后再去征求Kaplan老师的意见，改变我的复习 方法。

昨晚还发现去Kaplan 培训的人还不少，我看我们那个班有20个左右，一般都是美国人。希望能从那里找到可以一起学习的人。

一起加油！
