Hello,

Would be so kind to help me with the complicated question. I need the information about applicants who had low level of GMAT, applied for full-time MBA and after graduation were\are successful managers\businessmen.

It is urgent and important, so thanks in advance for your help and any ideas!!!

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I need exactly famous people (successful managers and/or businessmen) who had low GMAT, but applied for TOP-50!
I agree that it is very difficult to find such kind of info, but I hope someone has info on the issue :)

Well, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs didn't even go to b-school (or take the GMAT), and they've had great careers! :)

The way the game works in the U.S. is that unless you are a legacy, or your family donates a lot of money, you will not gain admissions into a top tier program without solid stats.

I think that is restricted not only to us of A . :D

But seriously, u can try browsing the school's website . see their current alumni / ex- alumni

contact them . and hope u get ur answers

Also u can post a query to the B school saying i would like to know more about ur school's curriculum and placement services from an already admitted student.

I am sure they will provide u with few email ids

Else, search for tht group on facebook . become a member of it. and mail a couple of ex alumni's asking for their background before getting admitted to a particular B school .

hope this helps :-)
