If you want a very good, solid, challenging and comprehensive program and are aiming high...this is for you! There are 2 parts to evaluating this: the teacher and the prep program
Teacher-You can count on Frankie!She comes in early every week, stays late, knows the material AND strategies thoroughly. She is always in a positive mood, has the ability to adapt her teaching style based on student learning needs and is very cool. She works as hard as the students do. Additionally, she is patient, even when students struggle with topics. I highly recommend her.
Veritas Prep Course:
Pros:
-Teaches the fundamentals AND the strategies, very comprehensive
-Lots of practice questions and they are challenging
-Nice, helpful staff there to teach GMAT material questions via email or phone
-Access to online materials: practice test, webinars, presentations, explanations, etc.
-Tons of class time
-HQ staff very willing to be helpful to your needs
Cons:
-Under-emphasized Math Essentials and could use some online basic math drills (My buddy said Manhattan has something like this)
-Even with all the extra hours I still think there should be more time to review homework each week
