In Reply To: The only value of the GMAT is during the b-school application process. Once you have an MBA, your GMAT score is entirely irrelevant. Or do you mean the average GMAT score of analysts at top firms who are currently applying to b-school? Because their GMAT scores won't be their selling point to the schools, it will be their work experience.
Message: I was referring to the average gmat score of analysts/associates from the top firms applying to b-school. You said that gmat wouldn't be the selling point, but it would certianly seem like a means of deferentiating between candidates from the top firms who most likely all have quality work experience. Basically, the average score at harvard is around 700, I am wondering if the average score of applicants to harvard from the top three firms is close to that, or if it is much higher.
