Hi Carl,

Thanks a lot. I have one more question, I had taken the GMAT in Dec 2013, got a low score, I am planning to take it again in Jan 14, do I need to notify the admissions team, or my new GMAT score would automatically get updated, or should I wait to finish my checklist as well. I am a bit confused, any suggestions about this?

Thanks in advance

I would suggest that you tell the admissions team about your plans on re-taking the GMAT.

Applied around 13 December, interviewed 14 January, and got the good news today! With some nice scholarship too. :-D
I'm tempted to send in the accept already, but gonna hold off for a little while to see if I hear back from a few other schools.

I guess I'll share a bit of my profile?

Nope, only applied early this month. I received an application receipt confirmation from Pina on the 17th. Now to wait :)

I noticed you've gotten into Schulich too. Congratulations! Which one are you leaning towards?

My top choice has been McGill ever since I started looking into MBA programs, but I guess I'll try to wait until I know all the results to make the final decision just in case.

Hi Carl,

Thanks a lot for the information, but what I meant was the range, the minimum GMAT score and the highest GMAT score in your batch.

I'm not sure about the lowest GMAT score is (obviously that person wouldn't be sharing that information openly), but the highest in our class is 770. I think it would be safe to say that the score is normally distributed, with a mean of 660 and a standard deviation of about 30.
