A hope without a real evidence backed story may be (and should be) perceived as false... and a false hope does more damage than good to most aspirants.

I posted this on Reddit and got a lot of DMs, so wanted to share here too since I know GMAT Club folks stress about scores just as much.

I know everyone here worries about scores (I did too), but I’m convinced it came down to one thing: knowing how to tell my story.

Yes, I had startup experience, but so do thousands of other applicants. The difference was learning how to connect my experiences into a compelling narrative that showed growth, impact, and clear vision - not just listing achievements.

Turns out, when I shared this framework with other applicants, several of them ended up getting into Stanford, HBS, and Kellogg too.

If you’re stressed about your score, remember: your story matters more than you think.

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to DM me directly (not in comments).

Why only DM but not answer questions in the comments?

Besides, OP has not come back since the second day of this first post.
