I've heard there is GMAT cutoff for MBB, anyone know what it is? I'm planning on trying for the tech strat practices at MBB before trying for tech/pm jobs and was wondering if I can even get selected.

Well shit, I'm screwed then. I hope they look at grad GPA (MS) as well...

Going to a Top-15.

I was told that it's just a rumor. It's a fuller picture than that. They also look at UGPA.

If you have like a 760 and 3.3, you're fine. If you have a 720 and a 3.0, that may be an uphill battle. Generally if you have a 730/740 (don't know which one), you get a tick mark for academic no matter what your UGPA is

I have a 730 and 3.6 UGPA... that’s fine right?

Is a 690 GMAT not going to get a call back? Looks like I might to have to retake the test..

Should retake 690

I’ve heard 720 is the cutoff.

I’m sure whatever it is, it is a soft cut-off, like there is for GPA. You can still get an interview if you are impressive in other areas.

I heard McKinsey is the one that REALLY cares. The rest is about networking in addition to everything else.
