Japan is great year round, so first check your availability. I am going next month. If availability is not an issue, then Dec-Jan if you like winter and snow, Feb-April if you like spring, skip first week of May and Aug-Oct for the fall colors. Japan is vast and there is literally so much to explore and see that even 1 month is not enough. I am going for 16 days. In 1 week, I think you might only be able to hit Tokyo-Osaka-Kyoto at the surface level because of travel being involved. You won't have time for regional areas. I would recommend to restrict yourself to Tokyo and Osaka only. As for the rail pass, depends on you. 1 Shinkansen ticket generally costs around 4-5k, assuming you take 2 of these and rest as local commute, the pass won't be worth it.

You will have to pay it eventually.

T&C states that 10k can be bought per mobile number per month. It is stated that the user should use the phone number associated with their Amex account. In order to buy >10k, you will use a different phone number which is not linked to your account. You are technically using a different Gyftr account when you use a different phone number. Technical loophole exists but that they doesn't mean one has the right to exploit it. T&C clearly dictate the boundaries.

Also, not all insurance companies are on Apay or allow Apay, even then, there are limits to how much you can pay via Apay.

You can but Amex will catch up sooner or later. So tread very carefully, they do block for life.

I just bought 10k Apay voucher from Amex Gyftr. Add -> View Order -> Pay -> OTP -> Pay -> Payment

Watched it live. Max has really grown and sharpened his skills. Made Gaetheje looked stupid. Also, I don't think they live streamed early prelims and prelims but it's available as a replay. Figueiredo destroyed Cody, was a great performance. Kayla performed beautifully as well. Jiri was in his usual form. Great card.

Mil toh rkha hai, no idea kab actually list hoga. Delay ho rha hai

Amex Gyftr works on/off, try again in 24hrs and it should work. Try ordering two vouchers of 5k in 2 txns, next time. Not many hacks, CC companies have scaled a lot. Only thing is to maximize your spending on Amex Gyftr for just about everything in your life.

I wonder how many of those Mexican supes he was on. Must be juiced up to his head.

Yeah, they reduced the limit to 10k from 25k and it is on the basis of mobile number. You can use another number though, although I am not sure when Amex wakes up and checks this.

Check DM.

This news was out 2 days ago and this was 100% expected. Context: Laurus acquired a facility from Phalanx, an intermediates facility in 2020. This facility was already in the US FDA black list since 2016. It was a given that US FDA will give some action because they always look at the past history and situation of the facility. LL has never received any action otherwise. Same was the case with Neuland Unit 3, although it was not under import alert. This facility is any HIV based and hardly has any contribution. I hope it gets a warning letter, making the stock tank. Given their culture, LL will fix this.

Anyone who is currently pursuing or has recently completed an international MBA? Have some doubts, would appreciate the help.

Check DM.

No consultant. Will just wing it through my friends who are already at these universities. I don't think I have it in me to work with a consultant and also pay them a good chunk. Admission requirements for the new rounds aren't out yet, once they are out, I will start working on them. Are you applying/have applied as well?

Only US top 7-8 schools. If I don't get it then I don't want anything else and will figure out my way. Median + 30 would be around 770 for something like HBS. Although, anything above 750 and I hope the rest will be covered by my profile (which hopefully will be enough).

Q88 V85 D85 I am not sure if I am denoting the correct breakup, but all 3 are basically within the same percentile range. I could have done better in Quant as I didn't remember a few properties of inequalities and for Verbal, I gave answers as per how CAT works but turns out GMAT is a bit different.

Yeah, typo, it was 705. So around 750 in classic. Should be able to push it to 725, hopefully 750. As for GRE, I have seen that anything above 320 is decent. But I will be sticking with GMAT for now and try again in a few weeks.

I don't think colleges have a preference nowadays. Anyway, took a mock test from MBA.com for GMAT focus. Scored 700. Now according to the equivalency table, 700 is equivalent to 750 on the old test. While 750 on the new test will only result to a 770 equivalent. They have truly made it difficult to score higher. Nevertheless, I did get confused in Verbal and I need to polish few basic concepts in Quant now. But will give a mock test for GRE first.

Mass cancellations and mass delays. Side effect of AI merger as Vistara piloted have been asked to agree to the AI pay structure i.e. anywhere between 40k to lakhs of lesser pay a month.

If anyone has upcoming bookings on Vistara (mainly domestic), be ready for switching to a backup.

Why not just go for the easier GRE? Anyway, I will give mock for both of them and see what's the best. Thanks.

Thanks, just checking ki kya kar skte hai future me.

Is this the official: https://www.amazon.in/GMAT-OFFICIAL-GUIDE-FOCUS-2023/dp/9354646506 ? Also, I am targeting 750+ on the new GMAT focus. I am a little confused if GRE would be better or not, target are B-schools only. Schools don't have a preference but just thinking about which is easier to crack.
