So is 700 the cut off for putting your GMAT score on your resume? I think its funny that some of these people list the AWA score since it seems to be somewhat of a joke.
I wonder what scores recruiters consider to be impressive?
Yeah, it looks like 700 seems to be the cutoff. There were some comments on this at the BW forums a while back, I think it goes something like this. People scoring below 700 do not include their GMAT scores on their resumes and hope that they aren't asked about it. People scoring 700-740 put their score on reluctantly because if they don't put it on recruiters will just assume they scored below 700; but having a score in that range doesn't help much. As far as looking impressive to recruiters, I think 750+ is the number for most top schools; with the possibility of moving up this year with the percentile change on the GMAT?
I think these generalizations apply to the big recruiting industries like IB & MC. It's well known that GMAT plays a pretty important role during the early stages of recruiting for those fields. On the other hand, I have been told by friends looking into general management and marketing that once they secure an interview (often through a bidding process), the interview(s) are the most important criteria - perhaps the only criteria - to landing a job.
