I am looking at Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Columbia. All these schools say that they only evaluate your highest GMAT score. In your experience, is this true even if you have take the GMAT as many times as I have? Here are my scores:
November 2004 GMAT
650 Overall. 40 Quant. 40 Verbal
December 2004 GMAT
650 Overall. 36 Quant. 42 Verbal.
June 2006 GMAT
650 Overall. 44 Quant. 36 Verbal.
July 2006
740 Overall(98%tile). 48 Quant (86%tile). 44 Verbal (97%tile).
Obviously my latest and highest score is good because I broke 700 and got the "80/80" split. However, as you can see it took me 4 tries. My first 3 tests were all 650 although my math and verbal scores were all over the place. How will these schools view my GMAT performance? Will they just look at my 740? Thanks for your help.

IHateTheGMAT,
Schools will view your 740 as your primary GMAT score (congratulations), and most will not average it. Some schools discourage you from taking the GMAT more than 3 times, but this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Even schools that do will note your high score and give you the benefit of the doubt since it is the most recent score. Other schools could care less that you took it four times and will just focus in on that highest/most recent 740. So, no worries, you should feel good.
Good luck,

Wow that's great news! I'm so happy with that I'd like to turn this into an "Evaluate my profile" type post for the 4 schools I listed above if that's ok.
At the time of my apps I will have 3.5 years of work experience and be 25 years old. When I start school I will have 4 years of work experience and be 26.
Work Experience: 3.5 years at a small business valuation firm (financial consulting). I have progressed very fast here. I started as an analyst that just researched and input numbers. Now I manage projects from start to finish which includes: visiting companies to interview senior managemnt and tour facilities, interact regularly with clients, conclude on values and write reports. I also have a few minor marketing successes. As far as additional impact, I have fought (and succeded) to revise some of our valuation practices to be in line with some of the more innovative and modern industry practices (including working to develop a methodology to value early-stage companies that is among the most innovative in the industry), I have been referred to as the "go to guy" on time sensitive projects and have succesfully gotten out important reports when pushed up against tight deadlines.
Academics: Top 30 school. Undergrad business major with a finance concentration. 3.6 major gpa but only 3.24 overall due to a poor start. I also held 5 internships, tutored underprivelaged children, participated as a mentee in our career mentoring program and served on student govt. GMAT (see above).
ECs: I am a mentor to current undergraduates (even though there is suppose to be a 5-yr experience requirement to mentor), I serve on my alumni associations event planning committee (and will have run my own event before I send in apps), I am an accredited member of the ASA (business valuation profesional org) and I have passed one level of the CFA.
Why an MBA? To get into investment management. Business valuation does basically the same stuff (determine the value of companies) and uses the same skills as investment management just for different purposes. During my years in BV I have learned as much as there is to learn from this industry (due to my rapid career progression). This will be valuabe to me as an investment management analyst. However, investment management requires an even higher level of sophistication when valuing companies. This is why its time for me to take my knowledge to the next step with an MBA. Also, the MBA/CFA combo is highly valued by investment management firms.
How competitive can I be at the Cornell, Yale, Columbia, Harvard. Thanks a ton!
