Take GMAT Senior Year?
Current college senior going into IB next year. At a lower level target and GPA is around a 3.8. Not really sure in what scenario I'd want to go to business school in the next few years given the huge tuition+opportunity cost, but is it worth taking the GMAT during the spring semester just to have it in case? Given that I go to a target with a pretty good alumni base, I'd want to upgrade brand value and would only go for M7, though the odds of me even wanting to go to business school, getting into the most elite schools, and having both of these happen within the 5 years that a GMAT would be valid seems low. Though if I do want to at some point, I'm not sure how people fit in GMAT prep while working full time.
Without a doubt - way easier to study and take it now than while you're working full time. DM me if you want to chat more
Mind PMing me as well? At a current target with a summer internship lined up and want to apply to deferred programs in the fall
Definitely do it now. It's like what, $150 and a few months of studying that unlocks a great door for 5 years, not a bad trade-off. And the MBA is so much more than just career switching, it's two years off getting to enjoy life and party/travel/whatever, plus networking.
Yup definitely worth it. If you're decent enough at standardized testing 2-4 weeks of studying should be good, if not maybe go up to 8 weeks and just do a set of practice q's every night or something. I wrote it before I graduated and it feels like a massive weight lifted from my shoulders - all the associates at my firm are struggling to study for the GMAT while grinding at work and they don't even remember shit like basic geometry and pre-calc so it's been tough. Get it out of the way - you won't regret it.
