<p>“Which programs do you speak of? And, what was the manner in which they told you this? Did they say it to the full information session, or was it communicated to you in private?”</p>
<p>It seems to me that you are getting ready to apply to MBA programs. If you have not done this by now, you should consider doing two things:</p>
<p>1) Visit the schools (or, alternatively, attend their information session in your city).
2) Attend online chats and webinar presentations. </p>
<p>It is in these two contexts where schools usually make (and have made) these statements. You can find more information about b-school chats at businessweek.com and ■■■■■■■■■■■■. </p>
<p>Moving on [edited for courtesy]…</p>
<p>'your assertion is that, in direct contradiction of what these schools have posted on their websites, top MBA programs have a preference for more recent GMAT scores and will weight the scores accordingly. do I have that right? and you state that that is “a fact”, as if it would be a hideous miscarriage of logic to even try to argue otherwise, as one would look like an idiot, correct?"</p>
<p>*[edited for courtesy] *You’ll see, your version of logic does not have anything to do with the preferences of the admissions process. I do not have time to explain this in depth, though. Suffice it to say, policy is one thing, the interpretation of it another, and the preference of the interpreters yet another. *[edited for courtesy] * Relax.</p>
<p>For example, HBS tells you that 2+2 is NOT for business majors or those people with extensive business experience who are already on a solid track for a business careers. This last part can be best interpreted as those who have business internships. Yet, you see, I know personally of a student who not only was a business major but also had secured an offer from a top investment bank this summer. He got it. *[edited for courtesy] *</p>
