Yeah I think you will have a good chance to get a consulting job out of Babson, but mabe not the top 4 consulting firms. I have checked Babson's career stats and they are not really good. I think only about 70% of the class has a job at graduation :(.

Anyways, I am applying to Tuck and Ross and I have a GMAT of 710, do you guys think I would be able to get a consulting job with the likes of McKinsey with such a score coming out of these 2 schools?

I am considering re-taking the GMAT after my b-school applications are done, and the only reason for the re-take would be a career with top management consulting firm

Please advise!!!

Interesting thread...especially pelihu post at the bottom of the first page. Follow his link and check the schools. It is amazing how many times they go to the finance powerhouses but dont even list other schools.

Thanks riverripper!

I really liked the link you posted. And I think I have made a decission now :), I will follow your advise (the last post in the link you posted) and I will re-take during the summer of 2008 :).
I think I am in the worst possible situation, I have good enough score for b-school, but not good enough for McK :)) so instead of sitting around and thinking whether I should retake I should go ahead and do it and get it over with! I don't plan on studying too much, I will just review, and because I will be more relaxed the next time I take the GMAT I think I will score better.

Can I replace the word GMAT with GRE in the discussion.

I mean, I plan to take GRE for my MBA Admission. So will the companies consider my Gre score like they will consider other's GMAT score?

Or I must give only and only GMAT for my MBA so I get on radar of recruiters?
