There’s a stupid easy fix for this—take the gmat/gre. The test is valid for 5 years and it’s way easier to take and study when you are in undergrad than while you are working. Get a good score to secure top mba admission while also putting on your resume to prove you are 90%+ test taker.
As a first-year analyst, would you recommend I go out of my way to take the GMAT now? feel like there's very little prep time given work / on-cycle occurring in 6 months.
