Most people I know take the GMAT between the time they finish school and start work. Plus everyone has to take the SAT to get into college, not everyone goes to B-school
They do not look at gmat scores. More important factors to consider.

Why would you consider a standardized test which only requires that you are reasonably familiar with the English language and can crash-course your way through pre-calc in 3 days to score well on?

Personally, I've never put much weight into standardized tests - especially for such a general test (GMAT is a glorified SAT) - it really measures how well you take tests, not how smart you are.
While I can see making an argument for logical reasoning, people really have one attitude towards the GMAT - not doing well on it is a much more important sign than doing well on it.
For what its worth, when I was in undergrad I had my score on my resume and not once did anyone ever appear to look at it or give a shit.
My interviews with Bain and McKinsey both explicitly asked me about my SAT scores (filled out on a pre-interview form).
