Ok, I realize that the GMAT is significant. I realize that it is one of the few quantitative standards that adcom people have to judge two similar applicants but I have been meaning to ask a question with regard to the significance of the GMAT after you get that >=700. I read people's profiles that they post on the GMAT club...you know the "what are my chances" posts. For people applying to the top tier schools most people who post I have noticed have 700 or above. I happen to be one of those people who is planning on applying to a few top tier schools (I have not taken the GMAT yet). I am studying sooo hard to get that 700 score but it seems that even if I do it won't be anything special, I'll just be another applicant of the many applicants I'm sure they get, who get >=700 score. Don't get me wrong I want a >=700 score, mostly because my GPA is so low, but still, it doesn't seem like it would set me apart as an applicant.
