Does anyone know Wharton's Grading Policy. I'm under the impression they have a non-disclosure grading policy but I just wanted to confirm.

another question about salary history

Does the amount of your salary affect the way business schools view a candidate? Does a higher salary equate to someone who is more qualified for business school? Or a lower salary make someone look less attractive? Or is the salary question strictly for measuring the "value" of the mba de...

Salary on MBA Apps

Do MBA applications ask for your salary history? Or do people just put it to show their advancement in their work experience?

Official Score Report question

I got a 5.5 on my AWA and it says its the 83% next to that number but when I look at the chart on the official score report a 5.5 is 87%. Same thing with my quant score and total GMAT score. The percentages don't match by a few percentage points on the big charts. Why is this?

Kaplan practice tests

I've been scoring very consistently on the Kaplan practice tests so it's scary because I'm not seeing improvement. Always a high score in math and a relatively low score in verbal. Do you guys think Kaplan underestimates the verbal score, math score, or both? Is the verbal a lot harder on Kaplan tha...

re:

I printed the question exactly how it came in the book. It's from the Insider's Guide to the GMAT CAT. I believe it was from the problem solving section 2, problem #4. And it said something about 25X9 is not divisible by 12 therefore the answer must be C. I guess the book made an error. Thank you fo...
