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

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

I think they are doing the best they can.

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

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.
