Hello! I have a question regarding GMAT Classic and new GMAT Focus edition. If I take GMAT Classic test end of this year and would like to apply for Wharton or any other B school for executive MBA after 2 years on the basis of GMAT classic score, would it be acceptable for the academic year after 2 years? Or shall I plan for GMAT Focus? Thank you!

Regardless of when you are thinking of taking GMAT Classic, this year or last or next, the answer is the same. Your GMAT score is valid for five years after taking the test.

Hi guys,

I have a few questions that I need clarified.

1.I already have a GRE score above 330.Should I attempt GMAT as well?

2.I'm from a South asian country(not India).Will coming from an under-represented country increase my chances?

Well done for 330+. You should be in a strong position with the score and your nationality for sure.

Hi guys,

I have a few questions that I need clarified.

1.I already have a GRE score above 330.Should I attempt GMAT as well?
Ideally, I would have liked to know the V & Q breakdown before I answer the question, but giving you a best guess scenario...

You don't need to take a GMAT; 330 GRE is a decent score, but IF:
a. the rest of your profile shows weak quant, AND
b. you could get a much better GMAT AND
c. the time you spend on the GMAT prep is not eating into your application prep, go ahead.

2.I'm from a South Asian country(not India).Will coming from an under-represented country increase my chances?
Most likely Sri Lanka?
Yes, You would face less competition, and yes that would increase your chances

jayadevvd1996 hope this finds you well

You need not worry about taking the GMAT.
Business schools compare your GRE or GMAT scores to your demographic average. If you are an applicant from a competitive demographic (Indian male or an engineer), scoring 10-20 points above average is an advantage. A score of 330 is good. However, a solid score on the quantitative section of the GRE, a 168 or higher would be fantastic as well. GRE requires much higher computational accuracy on the quantitative section than the GMAT due to the nature of the exam, so a high percentage on the quantitative section can really help your application to Wharton. Unlike the GMAT, which also focuses on logic in the verbal section, the verbal section of GRE focuses more on vocabulary variety, which honestly B-schools do not care that much about as long as you can demonstrate your good communication and English skills.

Your odds are certainly better than the average Indian applicant, but you must understand that the diversity factor alone cannot get you an admit :)

Do not hesitate to reach out for a candid discussion. We do not cap discussion hours for our applicants

If you think that’s an accomplishment, maybe but if it is something that takes a few mins to do, then probably refrain.

Hello jayadevvd1996,

Apologies for the delayed response but we hope this finds you in time still.

No, you should not attempt GMAT unless you feel the 330 is not good enough considering your overall profile (i.e. if there are any red flags) or you are already prepared for the test and feel you will score well.

Yes, being from an under-represented country will come with its own benefits.

All the best!

Hello 197369,

Thanks for writing in.

Wharton is a top-notch program and your profile will be evaluated in a holistic manner with the GMAT being only one component of the application, albeit an important one.

However, if you are looking for a benchmark of sorts, and if you belong to an over-represented pool of applicants (in terms of nationality, gender, and professional background) you should be looking at a minimum of 750 on the GMAT. Of course, the higher, the better.

Should you wish to discuss your prospects in greater detail, please feel free to get in touch with us for a profile evaluation session.

All the best!
