What happens if I am applying to programs not usually used to seeing gmat scores? I keep reading everywhere that 680/690+ is what is needed to get into the top 10 business schools - this is true because business schools have experience with the GMAT, and they know what high scores are.
I'm worried because I am applying to a couple of programs that are not even business schools, but instead businessy programs at advertising schools. One of the schools hasn't even asked for a standardized test score, and the other requires GMAT or GRE, but I took the GMAT because my other applicatons needed it.
What worries me is that these advertising programs were not even on the list of possible schools to which I could send my scores! I'm worried that these programs do not have enough experience with the GMAT to automatically know that 690 is a good score!
To someone who doesn't know much about the GMAT, wouldn't 690/800 sound bad? If you convert it to a percentage, it's about 86% - it's a B! But in reality it's an A!
First, I need someone to assure me that a 690 is in reality an "A" - please, someone tell me that I scored an A!
If this is true, if a 690 is a top mark, then how can I convey that to the admissions committees? Should I even send the scores to the school that hasn't even asked for scores? And for the school that asked for the GMAT or GRE, should I just trust them to know what good and bad scores are?
