Do the MBBs care about your GMAT score or just the business school you go to?

710 score from non-target school. I would say I’m an anomaly compared to what I see among peers and those I interview. As others have said, it doesn’t matter as much once you get the interview though

There’s no hard cutoff. Under a 700 will probably raise a few eyebrows and make things a little harder, but by no means impossible. Not worth a big investment to take it from a 710 to a 740. If you have a 650... worth bringing it up a bit though.

Yeah - latter is more important but they both matter. Mainly just matter for getting the interview - your case performance will speak for itself and matter far more than anything on your resume.

GMAT is tracked.

You have a better shot with 700+

@BC1, lol 700 inclusive? If the GMAT will preclude me from getting an interview then I’ll retake. Otherwise the time and money are better spent elsewhere.

700 fine at top 2-3 schools. Might need more at others.

700+ GMAT seems mandatory to get a look, particularly with a “boring” consulting background

Hi All,

I am 12 yoe, working at a very stable product based organisation (not NEC).
But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..
