Everybody is focused on the GMAT but GMAT itself has been reverse engineered and broken down by the test-prep companies to the point it has become a science.

Going by that analogy, so is the whole admissions process. You have consultants for everything -many of whom in the past have served on the Adcom- applications, mock interviews, thank you notes and what not.[/quote]
It has become a joke. As for consultants, schools have recognized the fact that prior adcom members work as consultants. There has been a push-back in recent years.
