Though the same could be said for you. I work in IBD. Not going to say which group obviously. But that isn't the point- the point is that MBB is evaluating candidates based on a test we took in HS. I was an ENTIRELY different person then, and did well enough at a target school to get into IBD.
Yea but the recruiters are asking for it. It sucks because I did do well enough on GMAT and worked at GS- like give me a break.
I'd leave it off...have you taken the GMAT or GRE? You can disclose just that
Where at GS do you work? You could be in the mailroom for all we know
Oh, if you have a solid GMAT score they'll almost certainly ignore the ACT
Yeah I got a 18 on my ACT, sure as hell doesn't matter now...if a recruiter ever asked me Id say I never took it
It's not a bad ACT score, just on its own it doesn't really turn heads. Odds are since it's pre-MBA recruitment their standard policy is to check SAT/ACT since they would assume you haven't done the GMAT. In other words your fine
I'm sure they'll look at the GMAT over the ACT.
Good luck with MBB recruitment!!!!
Thank you!
