Hi all,
I recently went to take the GMAT with the hopes of applying R3. I am a non-traditional applicant and feel that I have a unique story that will make me somewhat stand out from the rest of the R3 crowd.
My problem is that when I went to take the GMAT, I was asked to leave for supposedly "accessing my cellphone." After finishing quant, I went to my locker (outside the testing room) to get a quick snack. However, for me to remove the bag from the locker I had to move my cellphone. The testing administrator saw this and stated that this was a violation and had my exam canceled! I pleaded with her, but she said I should take it up with Pearson on Monday.
I was hoping to get candid feedback as to how adcom would view such a cancelation? Furthermore, would this incident take me out of the running for top B-Schools, especially when spots are limited in R3?
I thank anyone who can take 10 seconds to provide feedback to help a truly devastated applicant.
