Yes, that would clear the issue but it misses the point.

There is still a valid question here that I think deserves to be explored. The GMAT doesn't just get you into business school, it becomes part of your resume. How far does the GMAT follow you?

Does it keep people out of some top jobs or is two years with stellar grades at a top-tier business school enough to clean the slate?

It follows you to the grave. You should really consider retaking the exam to bump up that quant score.

Sorry, I did not understand that you were interesting in exploring this issue further. Like most test scores/academic grades, the value of the GMAT decays pretty rapidly. During and immediately after business school, the GMAT has value, especially if grades are suppressed in your MBA program. For the initial job it has value for the highly selective, mass application fields such as finance and consulting. After that the first few years, its value would be largely depleted and reliance would be placed on your post-MBA record.
