Take GMAT?

Incoming FT IB and go to mega non-target – places maybe 2 students in IB a year – never had or will view this as a weakness, but I’m self aware and realize the perception of my school is very negative. I’m certain I want to do L/S after IB and am curious how much of a benefit a strong GMAT is. Also have zero intention of getting an MBA

spend your time doing more productive things for the job you want  

 

Have free time. Interning at local ~100M fund during the school year and want a challenge. Would just spend the extra time drinking
