Hi there,

Generally speaking, yes. Most of the ranked firms use the GMAT as a cut off in recruiting and, even if they don't use it to draw a line, they may still look at it to assess ability.

The line for most firms is a score that starts with a "7" so the higher your score, the better!

Thanks for your quick response! I just wanted to know If there is a cut off? especially for the Quantitative section. My scores are Q 48/V 40 - 720 (Indian IT male). Will the Q 48 hurt my chances in a top 20 school ?

Hah - I think you just angered a ton of people on this forum. A 48 is an amazing score mate! It won't hold you back in any of it. With your GMAT score, you're in good shape for recruiting.

On a side note, you have 48 out of a possible 51. If a firm does have a cut off on the raw score, it's well below what you scored :)
