I’d do GMAT and certification at the same time. B school is great and will definitely up your earning power but getting a job out of b school can be competitive. Get a certification and you will increase your hire-ability in b school and essentially get to pick what you do

I don’t use my certification, but I also don’t work in Supply Chain anymore. I ended up doing IT.

IMO GMAT is more important, especially if you’re going to apply to B school in 2-3 years
