Should I take SAT for investment Banking?
I'm a senior going to college next year. As you probably know, most universities have gone test optional/blind after COVID, meaning they no longer require the SAT/ACT. Because of this, I did not take the SAT or ACT. Will this hurt me in IB interviews? I've seen on other forums that sometimes investment banks ask for test scores, is that true? Also, some institutions allow you to use AP scores as standardized test scores. I've taken 3 AP tests thus far (APUSH, AP World History, and AP Microeconomics) and got a 5 on all 3, and am taking 2 more this year (AP Macroeconomics and AP US Gov and Politics). Would an investment bank accept these as standardized test scores if they require a standardized test? Or should I just take the SAT or ACT sometime in college? Thanks for the help.
my ACT and SAT scores are on my resume bc my college told me to put it there but it’s literally irrelevant, never been asked about it. and I got IB SA offer
when i recruited for consulting tho, they asked for my results
So I should be fine without it? Thanks for the comment.
yup no need to take, unless you are interested in MBB consulting
I got asked about it in big 3 consulting
No one in IB cares. PE might put weight on it tho
Sounds good, thank you for your help
Agree. An alternative to wasting your time on a test you only might use, you could just take the GMAT senior spring before you start your job.
