How important is a 700+ score on GMAT for M7 schools? With 11 years of solid consulting experience, currently SM, but abysmal GPA (~2.5)

Current at wharton mba for exec. Can confirm more than 50% students had 700 on gmat in my cohort. You can get away with no GMAT only if you have certain years of experience (15 years I think?) with executive assessment.

Wharton Admissions team will be very open with your chance and actually encourage / discourage you to apply - this is why you also see higher acceptance rate because admissions will stop people from applying if they really have no shot (unlike full time).

The office he joined for the V50 firm is in City A. The office for the V5 firm is in City B (where V50 firm also has an office).

How should he break the news to the V50 firm to minimize reputational risk, etc.?
