Once you're in a top MBA program can GMAT still be a cut off for MBB ?

GMAT MBB

Neueste Antwort am 8. Juli 2023

gab die beste Antwort am 1. Juli 2023

710 is great. No neet to have a better score. But to be honest, it works this way: can help marginally if very high. Generally speaking it should be close to or above 700, but it is not a negative if you don't state it.
