It's sad that a director would have that mindset though

If Savage91 re-takes the test, he's the same person even if he scores over

*success in the program. Not in real life.

Could be. I would hope the MBA program would be structured in a way

I think they are doing the best they can.

Because he is determined enough to improve above

660 is low end of the average. And make sure you work well with women because

Hmm. No.

The issue with attracting women is any woman with a high GMAT can go to HBS.

2/23/17 9:08am

Avg GMAT is 667. 660 is likely good enough, but I'd still retake it.

Can't base GMAT on what she "hears", because only people with good scores share.

SurreyDad

Oh man, I'm so glad I'm done with that stuff.... Good luck to you, it's worth it
