Hi everyone need some advice,
I am a senior graduating heading into MF PE. I am wondering if I should spend the next 3 months studying for the GMAT.
For context, I do not want to get an MBA but am very set on recruiting for HF. People who went to get SM, do you think your GMAT/SAT mattered?
For context, back in the day, I did very poorly on the SAT, but went to H/S/W/M and have 3.9+ GPA

Never hurts to have those scores in your back pocket (I believe they are valid for 5 years).
However, given your background, I don't think you will need an MBA to go to a HF.
