Top 50 Business school

Expert replies
by gmatwar13 » Sat Oct 27, 2012 6:33 am
About one-quarter of 'Top 50' business schools in the United States have acceptance rates of over 30 percent. Because of the higher acceptance rate, students admitted to these programs tend to have GMAT scores under 650, undergraduate grade point averages below 3.4, and work experience of less than four years.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?

a) Accepting over 30 percent of applicants can help a business school move into the 'Top 50'.
b) It is possible for a business school whose accepted students have average GMAT scores under 650 to be 'Top 50'.
c) Most students whose GMAT scores are below 650 tend to have undergraduate grade point averages under 3.4.
d)'Top 50' business schools tend to accept students with undergraduate grade point averages under 3.4.
e) Work experience is not the most important criterion for admission to a 'Top 50' business school.

In my opinion the answer is B..D is too generic..the premise is "about a quarter of Top 50" .. D seems to imply all top 50 schools.

What is the OA?

The difference between B and D is the difference between "It is possible" in choice B and "tend to" in choice D.

For an inference question, which this is, it is easier to prove that a more limited statement "must be true."

In this case we have two different requirements that are each on the same level in the question. The GMAT score under 650 and the GPA under 3.4. In the question we see that about 1/4 of top 50 GMAT programs have the acceptance rates over 30 percent and that these programs "tend to have" the GMAT scores under 650 and the GPAs under 3.4.

Clearly this does not indicate a majority of All Top 50 programs. It is 1/4 that "tend to" so at most you can say that "Some top 50 schools" have these admissions statistics.

This is why B is better than D. B says "It is possible" for a school to accept GMAT scores under 650 and still be top 50. This is clearly supported.

Choice D says that top 50 business schools "tend to" accept students with GPAs under 3.4. If they "tend to" this implies that the majority would accept these GPAs and that is not supported.
