Would a 710 GMAT enough to get an interview from MBB at b school

It would probably be seen as a check mark, but doesn’t really stand out. You would still need strong other components of your application. But people tend to over-hype the GMAT’s importance. It’s important, but not the end all be all of your application.

Serious question, how many positions from B School recruiting seriously factor in your GMAT score? I thought that was just necessary to get in, not actively excluding you from getting a job.

MBB for sure explicitly ask for and look at it. A guy/gal who participates in Strategy& recruiting just gave anecdotal evidence above that he/she looks at it.

Not sure about banking/PE/VC.

I read the other day that tech companies don't ask, but that many students put it on the resume.

I recruit for whatever the fuck tier Strategy& is these days and if your GMAT isn’t 750+ I don’t factor in the GMAT score as a big positive for your candidacy. Not saying <750 is bad, just that in my mind it doesn’t really make the candidate stand out for me

I had a 730 and got interviews from all 3. Fucked up the interviews, but that’s my own fault for recruiting across too many sectors. You’re fine.

Getting the interview for B&B is almost entirely based on networking. Getting the M interview is almost entirely based on resume. A 710 won’t stand out, but I know people with lower who got interviews at my M7

A1, I'm not talking about being socially inept, I'm talking about the randomness involved that exacerbates inherent biases. For example, maybe the BCG guy is from my same undergrad school and we enjoyed a great conversation about our favorite hang outs. But the Bain gal is from a different part of the world and we find no strong connection as we speak.

Not to mention, all of us have, intended or unintended, inherent biases based on gender, race, creed, nationality, etc.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
