Philly, You Just Got Smarter: ManhattanGMAT Announces Opening of an Office in the City of Brotherly Love

ManhattanGMAT opens its doors in Philadelphia with a Free GMAT Preview Class on Tuesday, August 21st in a new Center City Location.

Philadelphia, PA - August 13, 2007 Something more exciting than the Comcast Building is coming to Philadelphia this summer! ManhattanGMAT, the world's largest GMAT-exclusive test preparation company, opens its doors this summer for the first time in the city of brotherly love at The Hub CityView situated on 30 South 17th Street in Center City. Tuesday, August 21st, marks the grand opening celebration and the date of a free GMAT Workshop, taught by Andrew Yang, the CEO of Manhattan GMAT. This event will be followed by a full nine-session course that will meet every Tuesday throughout the fall in ManhattanGMAT's classroom at the same Center City location.

We are excited to offer our Philadelphia student base an in-person classroom environment. Though our state-of-the-art virtual classrooms are accessible worldwide, many students in the area have requested on-site classes, and we are happy to deliver.

Manhattan GMAT, which has been growing exponentially since its formation six years ago, is known for its focus on teaching content and not for simply reiterating test-prep tricks and short cuts. This New York-based company, with locations in several major US cities and a roster of Fortune 500 companies as clients, just announced the opening of their Philadelphia location citing the high demand from prospective students in the metro area. Yang, who is excited to be traveling to Philadelphia to teach this debut class, says of the upcoming programming, "We are excited to offer our Philadelphia student base an in-person classroom environment. Though our state-of-the-art virtual classrooms are accessible worldwide, many students in the area have requested on-site classes, and we are happy to deliver." Philadelphia marks the seventh major market for Manhattan GMAT, in addition to continual programming in Boston, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

Young professionals in the Philly area can look forward in the coming months to a full schedule of courses, private tutoring, workshops, and other free events in their area. A listing of programs can be found at the company website at Manhattan GMAT or by calling 800-576-4628.
