Looks like MBB requires SAT, had a 4.0 in college but only a 1410 SAT - will this kill my chances?

Depends. Is it on the 2400 or the 1600 scale?

Haha, if it was the former I’m not sure I’d be capable of writing coherent FB posts much less going MBB ;)

Nope ur ok!! Although where you did undergrad also matters

What do they really require SAT scores? Even for MBAs?

For what it’s worth, at Bain, my experience is that we care significantly more about SAT Math than the other sections. That could help or hurt you.

Anecdotally I’ve heard office hearsay that either we or McK did a study at one point about success in consulting being heavily correlated to SAT Math scores. Take that with a grain of salt.

I’ve also heard anecdotally from a Bain partner that the only score that had a correlation with AC success was the SAT reading

Hey guys. When looking at the forums around consulting and MBA the EY Tech MBA is rarely mentioned in a positive way and the same goes for Hult. It is really discerning to read but I often think that it is probably only the ‘Elitist T7 or nothing’ who writes these comments. However I think there is a real need for Hult to improve their Bran and reputation. So my question to you is simply. Do you think this will ever happen?
