Hi. I recently scored 565 on GMAT Focus with 81 as quant score. As this score is below most averages for MBA in Canada (rotman, ivey, smith), should I submit this score in my application or get a GMAT waiver through my CFA? Please suggest.

If you can get a waiver, I’d do that. Any factor below average in an application is obviously going to hurt, not help

Dont wave it!!! I have a 675 with low quant and low verbal (but 99th percentile in DI) and got into 2 T15 with high merit based scholarships (even though I also just have a 3.3 GPA). Waivers are rather considered as downgrades of your profile nowadays. Also, if you have a CFA, then write about it in your optional essay how that proves that you have the necessary quant skills. That shows them that you just had a bad day. I'm pretty sure that you can compensate for your low score with the rest of your profile.

Sory read 665. Is your overall score still in the average range for your schools?

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

Hey 🐠,

I am approaching the Roth IRA income limit, and have a pre-existing Roth IRA that was not converted from a traditional account. Is there a way for me to take advantage of the backdoor Roth loophole while funneling the money into my current Roth? Or, do I have to set up a new account, convert it to Roth, and make all future contributions into that account? I’ve already asked my broker, and they have not been the least bit helpful. Thanks!
