GMAT score: include or leave off resume? I took it to apply to MAcc programs a few years ago and got a 770. No intention of going to bschool but not sure if including it is a red flag or if it helps.

How did you get a 770 and end up as an auditor?

@EY 1 knows his stuff. DO NOT WRITE YOURSELF OFF WITH THAT SCORE. Seriously, a 770 is no joke, just spend some time with admission consultants.

Leave it off, no one really cares outside of bschool

With a 770 dude just apply to IB or Consulting and put the gmat score on there. It at least helps tell the story that you’re smart

As someone in IB, I second this. Just network and get your resume out there. And include the score, it’s impressive.

100% include the score.
