I'll be doing the standard IB track with a hopeful 2 years in PE before b-school. I have time to take the GMAT now but given that it expires in 5 years, isn't the 2 year IB , 2 years PE track cutting it close to GMAT expiration date?

GMAT Raw Scores vs. Combined Score
I was curious how much the raw scores for verbal and quant matter vs. the overall score for top MBA programs. For example, today I took the GMAT to see where I was at and got a 730 with a 47 in quant (78%) and 44 in verbal (98% I think), which is exactly the opposite of what I would have expected...
Why Does UCLA-Anderson Have Such High GPA/GMATs?
According to their website, they AVERAGE a 3.75 GPA and 715 GMAT! http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x843.xml#8 When I first saw those stats, I thought that I was looking at Wharton's business page. Why the hell are their averages so high, especially since there are a lot better schools that are less...

GMAT Scoring
Took the GMAT. Didn't prepare much. Room was stuffy. Yadda Yadda. Anyways, scored 750+ (99%). Problem is my quant was only 78%. I know BSchool's wont care, but I was wondering if this might impact future job opportunities. Every firm i interviewed with wanted to know SAT scores, and several were...

GMAT 680 Q47 V36
Hey just finished sitting the GMAT. Got a 680 (Q47 (78%) V36 (78%)). Although it is below the magical 700 number was wondering if breakdown ever matters to programs as everybody always talks about the overall score. For example would a 680 with my breakdown be viewed in a more favorable light than a...

GMAT for recruiting...
I am a future mba who will be attending a top university next fall. My GMAT is 700 and I am considering retaking it as I feel having a higher score could give me an edge. If it means the difference between Goldman/Morgan and a lesser shop, I have no problem doing it. Any advice? Thanks
Difference between a 720 and a 750+ GMAT
I am starting to think about who my competition is for the Wharton interviews for round 1. I am reading GMAT club forums and I am seeing a whole lot of 750+ scores while I only have a 720 (median for wharton). My GPA was only a 2.9. I mentioned on other posts my stats, but I am not really asking for...

I am in my senior year of college, and I will start working at a top BB in this upcoming summer. For people who have been in my position, do you suggest that I study for and take the GMAT's now or wait until I am a couple of years into banking? There are obviously other things I would rather do in...
mbb.. again?! yes, please
at the risk of sounding smug (though the question is really sincere), i wonder the following: just took the gmat. got a whopping overall score, however (however?) my quant score is a mere 48 (83rd percentile i'm told) do mbb value the quant score very much or is an overall score in the top...
New GMAT program offers a deal: 50 point increase or money back
Knewton (google it) offers a great deal, so I decided to pass it along. 1. You take either their CAT practice test, or send your highest GMAT score . 2. Pay $890 (there is a $300 discount floating around, it knocks the price down to $590) and get access to tons of study material and teaching video,...

GMAT Score on Resume?
Suppose I'm a HYP undergrad philosophy major with no quantitative skills to speak of. How beneficial would it be to put my gmat score (specifically the quant. score) on the top of my resume if it turns out to be pretty good? I'm interested in consulting (and possibly S&T) jobs.

Reason for Differences in Average GMAT for M7
I've seen numbers floating around for the average GMATs of top MBA programs in the US. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that HBS has a lower average GMAT than say, Stanford. Why is this the case? Is it because HBS has more scores on the low end that skew it downwards (dilution due to class size)? Or is...

Good Resources for Computer Adaptive Practice Tests?
Hey all, I have the Kaplan GMAT 800 and the three OG books (thanks for the advice) and, while it is good to just do straight pen and paper questions, I understand it is better to drill CAT's after laying a foundation. Are there: 1) Books that have CD's with multiple CAT's 2) Websites that provide...
GMAT Scores
I am wondering if a high GMAT score on one's resume would offset a middle-of-the-road GPA and could replace an SAT score. I will be graduating in May and have a FT MM IB gig lined up. I do have an interest in either lateraling to a more prestigious firm or heading to a PE firm. Would a 750+ GMAT...

Is taking the GMAT only once a positive signal for adcom?
MBA applications always ask, "Have you taken the GMAT more than once?" Yes/no. They don't ask how many times you've taken it nor what your other scores are. Why is this? This is my theory. If you only took it once, and were able obtain a good score (750+), it shows that you are either good at...

I Lied, I didn't get a 799... GMAT Question
I am considering studying for the GMAT over winter break and then potentially taking it when I get back to school. Is 3-4 weeks a reasonable amount of time to devote to the test? Let's say I take the test and do poorly then take it again and do really well. How is this perceived by B-Schools? Do...
