<p>My bro took the GMATs and got a 710... is that good? He is looking at Northwestern, U of chicago, university of illinois chicago, depaul, and harvard for the heck of it</p>
<p>I am unfamiliar with the test, any input?</p>
<p>Yes its a good score. That score + good work experience + solid undergrad GPA should put him in a nice position when he apples for b-school.</p>
<p>Yeah its good according to colleges "avg GMAT score" - Stern Graduate (which is around 13) has a score of 699..but idk what the GMAT is out of just basing it on school's acceptance stats.</p>
<p>That's damn good.</p>
<p>just for reference- "The average GMAT score for the class entering in fall 2004 was 707" Harvard BS</p>
<p>cool, Ill let him know... I want him to take it again. He studied for all of 2 hours...</p>
<p>The only problem is... he is at Pepperdine. Not the most prestigious of schools. Has a 3.9 GPA... but he has no work expierence, besides a summer job at my dad's flea market buisness...</p>
<p>How do those aspects factor in?</p>
<p>Well, I don't know much about BS, but I do know that work experience is necessary for those applying to TOP schools. Typically, HBS (and other top schools) students work for at least 3-5+ years before applying and getting accepted.
However, I don't know where he's aiming and I don't know how 2nd tier BSs work.</p>
<p>At top Business Schools you need at least 2 yrs of work experience...what yr is he in? If he's a junior, I'd recommend him to go find an internship! There will be people who he'll be competing w/ who have 3-4 yrs of working experience (internships at firms)...so that won't look good on his part. Thats why when I go to college most likely end of frosh yr I'm gonna get an internship to get experience and make connections...they help a lot. If the company likes you they can hire you after you graduate. What is he majoring in? Usually people go to MBA 2 yrs after Undergrad (working for those 2 years).</p>
<p>Actually... he is a senior. He is probably in trouble huh? Serves him right for being a lazy bum...</p>
<p>He'll probalby end up at depaul or something my guess is</p>
<p>yeah 3.93 without much work experience < 3.5-6+ and lots of work experience / EC's when it comes to MBA from what I've been told. I made the mistake in high school, so when I hit college I'm definitely preplanning my next 4 years for my goal rather than worrying about it senior yr. </p>
<p>However, tell him to still apply, because you never know. GL!</p>
<p>if you go to wharton for undergrad, do you really need to do a MBA. A lot of people i know go to wharton and then go straight to law school. Also, if i get an undergrad business education, is there anyway I could get a top notch grad school engineering education(from scratch) somewhere?</p>
