GMAT Score on Resume for on-cycle PE recruiting

I am an incoming IBD analyst at a top BB group looking to recruit on-cycle this fall. Currently have my SAT score (2350+) listed on my resume. I recently scored a 740 on the GMAT and wanted to ask if it would be appropriate to list this on my resume. Do some PE firms look down on individuals already looking at B school before they start their associate stints? Would appreciate any advice.

First off, congrats on the great SAT and GMAT scores! Assuming a good GPA, you shouldn't have a problem securing many PE interviews.

I would put your GMAT on your resume. Many of the larger funds require you to go to B-School after their 2 year program before you become a VP, so they will see a 740 as a plus. If you interview at a fund that doesn't require B-School, you can frame your decision to write the GMAT as wanting to keep your doors open, but you're currently leaning against it.

Hope this helps, and best of luck prepping!
