Hi everyone,
I am currently a senior in college and am thinking of taking GMAT online exam (I initially registered for an in-person one but it got cancelled due to covid). I want to apply to b-school in 3-4 years from now.
My question is, will taking GMAT online disadvantage me when applying to b-school in a few years since then the pandemic will (hopefully) be over and many applicants will be with in-person GMAT scores? I wonder if admissions of competitive schools will be more skeptical of applicants with online GMAT scores.
Thank you,
Julia

Hi Julia,
At this point, Schools all seem fine with the concept of the At-home Exam - and no School or Program has voiced any major concerns about comparing that Score to a traditional result from a Test Facility. There's no way to know if that perspective might change in the future though. All things considered, if you apply at some point within the next 5 years and you are a strong overall applicant who took the At-home GMAT (and scored well on it), then I would assume that a School would not "look down" on your application because Covid-19 may have essentially 'forced' you to take the At-home GMAT.
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete (and the At-home version takes about 3 hours), so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) If you're still in college, then how many hours do you think you would be able to consistently study for the GMAT each week?
