a 700 this time. How would that make him more likely to succeed in the program?
To me, standardized tests are like 40-yard dash times. They measure what they measure, but shouldn't be extrapolated to real-world success. If the GMAT really is the best measure of success in the program then that sounds like something is wrong with the program. Not sure how knowing geometry and grammar translate to being a better manager, entrepreneur, etc. Probably holds the most relevance while within the ivory tower of academia.
