<p>So, </p>
<p>I'm not sure if any of you MBA-bound candidates heard the news, but it turns out that the newest addition to the GMAT- known as the IR (Integrated Reasoning) will not be considered by MBA Admissions.The IR section was just added this summer so it is incredibly new and schools, such as Stanford do not know how to weigh people's scores, since it will be the first year they see the score. </p>
<p>The article on Stanford's blog page can be found here: Why</a> you shouldn't worry about GMAT Integrated Reasoning (Stanford MBA Admission Blog)</p>
<p>They say, "Rest assured that IR is is new to us, too, and it's going to take us (and our peer schools) some time before we know how to interpret it as it relates to the Stanford MBA Program. What we DO know is that the test was designed to provide insight into how you pull together knowledge from different sources--something you probably do already at work, and will certainly do here at Stanford." So for those nervous about this section, fear not. (Well, fear a little less than before) </p>
<p>Anyone have any thoughts on the article? I know this is just one school, but I think it's safe to say that this topic is across the board with different schools.</p>
