I had a 680 GMAT and lower GPA from similarly ranked school and got into Berkley, Cornell, NYU, Ross, UCLA and Darden (attending Haas most likely). Rejected from Tuck, Kellogg and Columbia and waitlisted from Fuqua. It is very possible to get into the schools you are aiming for as long as you have s...

My girlfriend just got a job in the Bay area and we both want to end up in California. ross gbr looks like a blast though- awesome place and school! , Ro...

To clarify, I got into Ross and Darden (in addition to my previous acceptances to Stern, Berkley, Cornell, UCLA and waitlist from Fuqua). Thank you all for the good wishes! I am real excited to begin the next stage in my life and career. Honestly, Darden made me feel like complete crap, but like som...

Retook the GMAT yesterday. Got a 700. I am done with this test! I think it was a bad idea for me to retake- I stressed myself out after getting into Haas and other amazing programs when I should have been celebrating and enjoying life. Plus Darden told me that they reccomend 720 plus on GMAT for MC....

Yes, MBB will look at your GMAT. They will NOT pull from your GMAC record, but will ask for it on your resume. It is important so you should try to take again this spring/summer to get above 700. It will greatly help your recruiting chances. I know because I worked in consulting for a few years and...

Thanks for the post. I appreciate your advice, I am actually a big Fan of your Blog. Thanks for always sharing your experience. I have reached out to members of different consulting clubs and the consensus was "retake if you want the best chance." I did not reach out to the career manageme...

Honestly man, I would love to be proven wrong but this is what I was told by current students at consultin...

Dude, you got your admits. GMAT time is OVER (you can thank the Lord for that). To secure your post MBA job I'd rather suggest putting effort where its right for you now, i.e. at your school. Do you think 20 points extra on the GMAT would be better or say leadership of a Consulting club? There are ...
