MCAT/GRE scores on a resume?

So over this past summer, I realized that I didn't want to go into science (MD/PhD) like I had originally planned for personal reasons that I don't want to go into right now. But here's my question: my MCAT and GRE scores are in top 2 and 1 percentile, respectively. Should I put that on my resume just to show that I am intelligent enough?

BTW, I am applying to IBD (both BB and MM) and not con

Hofstra

I'm currently looking at possible MBA schools (w/o any work experience). Can anyone give me any info on Hofstra? I wonder if it is possible to get into IB (even at the analyst level) from Hofstra since it's so close to NYC.

I've talked to their career center and they've told me that a good amount of students get into operations. Also, alumni network can't be that bad.

Assuming that I get good grades, would I be able to get into any MM's or boutiques? Does anyone know any Hofstra students in their analyst class? Any anecdotes?

Checking References/background

This is purely a hypothetical situation...but I need an objective answer free of any morality.

Say, a person is applying to FT to MBB. For the summer between Jr and Sr years, he/she had an internship that was completely irrelevant to consulting or even business (think researching, architect shadowing, whatever). If this person were to lie on their resume and write something else such as an amazing volunteering experience and had references to back it up, would he/she be able to get through? Is there any way of getting caught, by say, checking work history through social security number or anything?

Need some answers re: recruiting and other things

Hello...

I am a rising senior at a semi-target school (BCG and Bain recruit 1-2 per year, McK doesn't, heavily recruited by Big 4). My majors are biology and management.

Anyways, my problem is that I recently decided over the past few weeks that I want to go into consulting rather than grad school/med school. But I don't have anything business related on my resume. I've got good grades(3.83/Science:3.77/business:3.82), honor societies(econ and bio), bio research, other nice EC's, etc...but nothing regarding business. I can't try for anything business related this summer as I already have a research internship.
