I just want to say that I am new and hopefully this forum will lead me into th right b-school.
I know all to well your issues with the GMAT. I have never been one to do well on Standardized tests. This is painfully obvious with my SAT score of 1060 and my GMATs of low to mid 500s. However, I have always been an A student. Infact, my undergrad GPA is significantly above the mean GPA of 2004 grad school admittees in HBS, Standford, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Fuqua and Tuck. My work experience of over three years is with a fortune 500 and I am positive I would essay and interview well with any top university. However, due to my lower than average GMAT's I can not gain acceptance to any B-school that warrants the investment and risk. ie potential income/current income etc. This is not to mention my near obsession in going to a darden or a wharton or a chicago. This obsession has even led me close to seeking individuals who have scored well and would be willing to sit in my place for the GMAT. I can not understand why this test is the most determining factor in a top tier b-school admittance. Maybe all of you can offer me some advice on how to prepare or shed some light on why this test is so important.
