I am excited at scoring 680 on the first shot and I think I can get to 720 on the next shot if I can work on my timing. But I keep hearing that there is not much of a diff between 680 and 720. Any suggestions? And even if I did get a 720, do I even have shot with my crappy undergrad GPA? My target ...

Can my AWA or IR score hurt or help my chances of getting into a certain program? 1. AWA - this score is basically pass/fail. If you get a 4.5+, you're okay. 2. IR - The IR scores aren't going to mean much in this year's admissions since it's new and there are still a lot of valid scores prior to J...

This is straight from it's website and I highly, highly doubt that they will lie on it's website. I have taken the GMAT and/or GRE several times. Which score does the admissions committee consider? The admissions committee takes into consideration your highest test score. The Tuck application allow...

Accounting, stats and econ courses are core program requirements in most of the schools I am applying to, so I know that showing that on my app would be a no-no. What I meant to convey was that I am not interested in going into finance or fields that would require heavy quant/theoretical knowledge,...

If you're going to take it again, take it now. GMAT scores are good for five years, so there shouldn't be a "preference" for more recent scores if they're valid. The IR section is an odd thing to judge as schools aren't sure what to make of it yet. If you retake don't just study the IR par...

The average GMAT score that HBS reports (730 last year) is of accepted students. Accepted or Enrolled? I know with HBS's ridiculous 89% yield those numbers are close, but for other top schools where the yield is between 50-70%, there could be a bit of delta between the average score for accepted st...

Also I would like to know whether there is a difference between 710 and 730 ? (with regards to admission) My non-expert reply is: probably not. There's so much else to evaluate in an application that 20 extra points isn't going to make or break you - epecially if you're talking about a 92% and a 96...
