Judith asks her panel of business School Admissions experts about the GMAT. Your GMAT score will help determine which business schools you may be accepted into, but what does the score really mean? To what extent is your GMAT performance an indicator of success in business school? How much does it “make or break” your application?

For those whose native language is English the GMAT is an IQ test. It should be the ONLY criterion.

These admissions people are such doozies!!! They make like $25,000 a year, yet they’re so smug about their power and judgements.

Gmat is only a part of the whole admission process…..which includes ur wrk ex,gpa,gmat,recommendation letters,essays ….phew!
the process is indeed scary

one of my friends got 770 in gmat, he’s a grad from top technical intitute…with decent gpa…still he is getting rejections…..
he got rejected from
U-penn
U-Michigan

I guess he has to settle for 2nd tier schools

I am in Keller Graduated School Of Management and I did not need the GMAT to enter into the program and I am doing pretty well, I think the GMAT is just a stupid thing to make student spend more money in an useless test just to enter into the MBA, ridiculous.

I believe he had misspoken. I believe he meant to say that the further you are away from undergrad the less valid your GPA is, considering that the GMAT will likely be the new determent for access into Business School.

Thanks for watching BSCHOOLTALK!
I am the host of the show, Judith Hodara.
The GMAT is important as one indicator of ability, but it by no means should be taken into consideration without knowing other parts of the candidate’s profile. I think that the score in isolation only gives a part of the story.
Stay tuned!

It was a surprising …
It was a surprising response. As someone who is applying to B-School some 15 years after graduating with my undergrad, I realize it is probably going to be an important evaluation of whether “I have it” or not. It being my ability to study for examinations. Is my study ethic still there?
i think that guy …
i think that guy either mis-spoke or is a complete idiot.
I didn’t quite …
I didn’t quite understand that as well.
What is the …
What is the rationale that the further you are away from undergrad, the less valid the GMAT is? I would think that this would not be the case. I don’t think the GMAT should be weighted too heavily, but its interesting to have that info. Good business people do not need to be top on the GMAT, because there is so much more that is important.
