GMAT provides a reasonably valid and reliable measure of the
applicant's general verbal and quantitative abilities. These
attributes, which develop over a long period of time, are
related to success in graduate management curricula.
Therefore, the admissions committees look at your GMAT score to
determine if you have the academic ability to succeed in business
school. An outstanding GMAT score won't necessarily get you into
the school of your choice but a low score will probably keep you
out. If you scored poorly on the GMAT, consider taking it again.
Admissions committees usually focus on your most recent score.
Furthermore, GMAT scores are used as one (and only one) of
several sources of information about an applicant. The school
will also consider academic records and other information
obtained from application materials, such as working experience,
activities, and commitment. Unlike GPA, which varies in meaning
according to the grading standards in each country, GMAT score
is based on the same standard for all applicants and therefore
can be compared across all test-takers. Verbal and
Quantitative Verbal and quantitative scores range from 200
to 800. About two-thirds of test takers score between 400 to 600.
Analytical Writing Assessment AWA scores range from 0 to
6 and represent the average of the rating from the two essays.
Because the essays are scored so differently from the Verbal and
Quantitative sections, essay scores are not included in your total
scores. TOEFL Score If you are an international
student, your TOEFL score will also be considered as an indicator
of your English proficiency. |
