Frankly GMAT ting!

Ok, I have been a big proponent of GMAT score being not that important for MBA admissions, but looks like I may have been miscalculating the things a bit. Well, let me take a step back, I dont mean to say that the essays and other admission procedures have lesser importance, it just means that GMAT may have more importance than what my research revealed previously.

What changed my mind? A live example – I just read willgetin’s test experience on Scorechase [its great way to get in touch with the MBA community]. I was surprised to see that his jump from 700 to 770 resulted in his selection to DARDEN and other top B-schools where he was waitlisted [congratulations man!]. You can check willgetin’s test experience here:

So do take your GMAT seriously and as always dont neglect your application essays. Pretty much the verdict is: Be prepared to be “prepared enough” on all fronts. Dont be laxed on any part of your applications.

ATB!
