For those of you who got into MBB/Tier 2 consulting through MBA route, did they ask for GMAT score?

I am debating on GMAT waiver.

There was a spot on the application. I put my score (770). I didn’t get an mba fwiw.

I figured the score wouldn’t hurt me and might help

I am a final year PhD student and exploring consulting as a career option. I attended Mck online session this week. I asked her the same. She suggested to focus on case than GMAT. Of course, people working there would have a better idea.

THANK YOU

No mba and left all the school details blank

As others said, it’s all optional to put down. If you’re an experienced hire, those aren’t priority metrics they would score you on. It’s the online assessment, cases, and personality / behavior assessment

There may be a field on the form for GMAT score but we really only look at resumes. If you put test scores on your resume, we’ll notice it (and have heard that it can help for non traditional candidates) but otherwise don’t care.

Yes it does

It was just on my resume
