Is 740 the new 700?
About five years ago, the conventional wisdom was, "just break 700, and you'll be fine with the top b-schools." The median gmat however has increased a lot since then. Virtually all the top 10 programs are now in the 720-730 range. HBS and Stanford will probably hit 740 in a few years. Given this...

Moving from 720 - 760+
Hi Guys, Took the GMAT about 6 months ago, did pretty well (720) but thought I could do significantly better since I didn't really prep as much as I should have. My verbal is fine (90% + ) but I really think that I can boost my quant score up (right now at low to mid 80%). What resources would you...

Clearly, >700 is where one would like to be. I know people have gotten in with less. Yes, I have read the other posts.

What Schools are Possible with a Good Overall GMAT but Bad Quant
Just curious which schools are still on the table with a 710 GMAT but, 97th percentile verbal and 65th quant split. Obviously admission depends on other factors, but let’s say: - 4 years NY BB Public finance - 3.9+ GPA in Business Economics from semi-target state school - Quant classes include...
GMAT as a Sophomore in college
Are there ANY benefits to taking the GMAT during the summer between sophomore and junior year of undergrad? Such as putting the score on my resume to help with junior recruiting? I'm planning to apply 2 years after graduation, so my score will still be valid I think.
GMAT Score and Bschool Chances (740, 76% math)
Recently took the GMAT and unofficial score report was 740 (97% percentile), but imbalanced with a 99% in Verbal and a 76% in Math. Only want to go to business school if I can attend Top 5/Top 8.

Didn't Finish GMAT
Took the GMAT today and didn't get to the last 3 math questions. Got a 720 overall, 99th percentile on verbal but only 66th percentile on quant.
