I will be graduating with my undergraduate degree in engineering in 2018 and am wondering about when to take the GMAT. I was wondering if it makes any sense to take it within my final year of undergrad as I feel like I will be in more of a test taking mindset than I will be after a few years in the workforce. I know that I want to have 2-3 years of full time work experience before returning for an MBA and a GMAT can last 5 years, so is there a downside of taking it the year I graduate with my bachelors?

Hi knewman,
Since your Official GMAT Score will be valid for 5 years from the date that you take the Test, there's a potential advantage to studying for the GMAT in the near future (while you're in "School mode"). By taking care of the GMAT now - and 'locking up' a competitive score - you won't have to worry about studying later on (when you're already working a full-time job and juggling other aspects of a busy lifestyle). Of course, this type of plan completely hinges on the idea that you'll be applying to Business School in the next several years, but you appear to be forward-thinking enough to have an idea of what your plans are going to be.
1) Do you know which Schools you plan to apply to?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Do you think that your GMAT prep will negatively impact your academics? The GMAT is not the only thing schools consider.
