Your continued pursuit of your classwork and prep for your GMAT will be counter to recovery. You should consider taking time off to get better rather than push through. It would be better to delay grad school than get into grad school and flunk out or have some other failure.
It is like you are a hockey player trying to skate on a broken ankle. It's not going to happen successfully.

On top of that, I have to study like mad for the GMAT, which is in less than a month. I wanna take the test once, I can maybe afford to take it twice but it'll tight timing. This whole concussion thing has already made me have to scramble to prepare for my grad school applications (taking tests, gathering info,...). Also, my uni exams are coming up. They are hugely important. Fukk, I wish I could take some time off but as you can see I really can't. |

Just chiming in really quickly here because I noticed that you play hockey. I was injured in a somewhat similar fashion. Despite playing in a no checking league, I was hit hard and high during a game and my head went flying into the glass. I don't believe I lost consciousness, but I really banged my head on the glass and ice.
I rode the pcs rollercoaster for many months, probably close to 11. Things finally started to level out after that and I am feeling much better now. Not perfect, but so much better than the sick mess I was for so long! I can tolerate noise, crowds, stores, even the bright lights of a rink now. I couldn't for many, many months. So hang in there and try to take it easy if you can. I think the rest really does help. Also, 1 year after my injury I was diagnosed with a pretty bad neck injury. I new my neck was injured from the hit, but doctors didn't feel like giving me a cervical mri until 12 months after the damage was done. Not sure if you've had a neck workup yet, but it might be something to consider. Neck injuries can contribute to pcs like symptoms. Good luck in your recovery!
