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

They aren't an amazing indicator, but, they're the best indicator.,

It's like the NFL combine. Even though it's useless, I guess you need

And unlike the combine they don't have any film, it's like they're just given

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

Ulysses14

I think they are doing the best they can.

Ragnar Danneskjold

Because he is determined enough to improve above

It's a good indicator of doing well in the program, not necessarily well in the

If you're a white male, then yes. No joke.

If that's true, then going to school would suck.

Hmm. No.

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

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.

What do you have to lose in retaking it? Sounds like you have some time.

Makes sense. They gotta do what they gotta do

Ulysses14

I'll also add, the best "test prep" for me was actually taking the test.

SurreyDad

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