Is GMAT relevence in MBA campus recruitment?

I agree with all of the above. But: Find the right balance in the networking. Be targeted and reach out to a few classmates that did internships or are alumns. Don't just reach out to a dozen people on LinkedIn and ask for coffee chats. They will eventually realize that you are just wasting their time and communicate this to recruiting.

Also: Prepare for the calls you get. Don't ask random questions, but targeted ones that actually help you with your application. If you are not flagged as a really strong candidate after a 20 minute call, name dropping in the cover letter won't help. So focus on quality, not quantity.

Dear A,

Actually GMAT doesn't matter a lot.

Insted, I would recommend you to network and apply with referral, if that possible for you.

If you need any help, feel free to reach out.

Best,

Hi,

If you are already at a target school, you may not need to mention your GMAT score in your resume. You can make up for this by highlighting your other quant-oriented achievements (whether it is your overall GPA, grades in economics/math modules, work experience as a teaching assistant, IB firm etc.).

Best,
