Do B-schools consider individual sections scores?

Hi Brent,

Can you please let me know if B schools consider the overall GMAT score on a scale of 800 or do they have section wise cut off( for quants and Verbal)

Hi Vigu,

Sorry for the delay; I was unaware that you had posed a question to me (someone just notified me via email).

Unfortunately, I'm not a good person to ask. My company focuses exclusively on preparing students for the GMAT. I don't know much about MBA admissions.

There are, however, many people on this site who can help. Try Stacy Blackman at: https://www.beatthegmat.com/ask-stacy-blackman-f21.html

Cheers,
Brent

When I was going through the admissions process I asked this question to adcom members at different schools. I didn't want to hear it from other applicants or consultancies. I preface with that to say that this is what I heard directly from three different schools. Each school is different and evaluates GMAT scores differently so again this is just what I heard from three different schools about a year and a half ago.

When we report avg. gmat scores on our website and to publications we report the total score in 1 sitting. When we're looking at a candidate for admissions we will take into consideration the different split scores in some instances, but in most cases it's never the deciding factor for admissions. Just helps us build a better case for the student if need be.
