GMAT score?

Haven't taken it yet

You need at least 750+ with a 3.0 and from an overrepresented group with average at best work experience. That still may not be enough, as the 3.0 is very hard to overcome. I apologize for the brutal honesty

Thanks for the honesty, my friend. Will be aiming high for GMAT for sure.

I heard someone make a bold statement that contributing to a traditional 401k versus a Roth 401k were the exact same assuming the same tax rate. I ran the numbers and to my surprise they were not wrong (even considering the earnings). Can anyone explain why a Roth would ever make sense given that income will likely be lower and therefore lower tax rate in retirement?
