When does everybody take the GMAT to get into b-school? This is sort of a noob question cause I havent looked into it really at all.
I'm going to have time this spring before work and feel like it would be best to take it soon since I have time and nothing better to do.
Thoughts?
I took the GREs mid-July.
After taking the GMATs, though, seriously start shopping around and seeing if you can get the job you're ready to spend $100K for an MBA on without grad school. That was what happened to me after I took my standardized tests.
^^^ definitely failed to explain my situation a little bit.
Have a job as an analyst mm starting in July. Graduating in December though, so I have capacity for the spring. The scores are good for 5 years I think?
I was thinking more like if work experience actually helped your test scores, see where I'm coming from?
No, work experience doesn't help your test scores. You are in peak academic shape- at least in terms of the quant and verbal sections of most standardized tests- your senior year of college.
Take it before you start your first job (this is coming from someone who took it two days ago after working for 3.5 years). The last thing you'll want to be doing is working a full time job, doing all sorts of extracurricular stuff, pulling together apps, and worrying about a damn test. Also, if you screw up, you can take a nice, multi-year break, and try again.

I'm taking it in a month or two and it's been extremely painful to study while also working long hours of late... if you have that much bandwidth definitely take it and give it your best shot.
Take it now in spring or when ever you have time "before you start working". Or you'll have to beat yourself up over it when you least want to be bothered with them. I took 2 months off from work (anyway I had planned to quit whether or not I got into B school ) for my GMAT and B school applications. You'll likely not have the energy to prep during a full time job.
youll be far ahead of it so just crush it when you have the time before you go and sell your soul to a BB
