I remember someone mentioning on here a while ago (or maybe on Poets & Quants) that Wharton has a special application pile for those with a high GMAT and they get extra consideration. Was the cutoff 750, or 770?

It's not wharton but another top school, where those with 730+ go into a separate pile from the rest.
Regarding wharton though, from talking to friends on student adcom, the median gmat for finance/consulting males is now 770.
There is no possible way this is true. I worked at MBB and now work for >$10B PE fund and know over 25 people total from these two firms currently in school at HSW. I know the GMAT score of perhaps 20 of these folks and the median is certainly lower than 770, especially for the consultants. My sample size is statistically significant, so either the 770 stat is too high or by sheer randomness my network of colleagues at HSW underperformed on the GMAT. I'm going with the former.
I would estimate the median for this cohort is more like 730-740. Still a great score, but much more achievable than a 770. In fact, of the ~20 people whose scores I know, only 3 have 770 or higher.
Now, of the PE cohort only, the median is higher (I.e., my PE friends have outscored my consulting friends on average). I would estimate the median score for PE cohort to be ~750. Again, not a huge difference, but certainly more attainable than 770.
I think Brady-I-mean-LastCall's friends may be exaggerating. But I also admit my sample could be off as well.
Hi Derivatives
http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/conversation-with-a-former-top-5-…
What's the name of the other top school with 730+?
It is clear from the thread below that Derivatives and Shawshank on GMATClub are one and the same: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/nyu-stern-overrated-mba?page=1
It is clear from the thread below that Derivatives and TheLastCall are one and the same: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/conversation-with-a-former-top-5-…
(How would you know it's not Wharton, unless you started the other thread as well?)
And it is clear that TheLastCall and Brady4MVP are one and the same. We even know from post histories that Brady was rejected multiple times from B-School, as was Shawshank on GMATClub...and both are options traders in Chicago who have been out of school for quite a while. Also, if you look at the past WSO posts of Derivatives, many of his threads are about how Chicago is so great compared to NYC.
So it is clear that TheLastCall / Derivatives / Brady4MVP are one and the same on WSO. And this person is the same as Shawshank on GMATClub. Nice try on trolling the forum though.
