MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hi all!
As of recently, I have received a portfolio evaluation from Edhec that suggested I apply to specialised MiM programs where the gmat is optional.
These programs look like a great fit for me. Furthermore, the school is well ranked by the FT.
I already have a score that is below my expectations and am wondering whether additional time, money, and stress investment for a better score is a good idea as opposed to the programs mentioned above.
But I am hesitant. Will employers look at these programs differently? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello Gumbo_Stoic,
Thanks for writing in.
Employment opportunities largely depend on what you make of the Master's program, how you network, etc. If you go out there and perform, you will have a lot working for you.
That said, while employers will not view the programs differently as such, it is never easy to get into a school without a GMAT/GRE score; everything will depend on the strengths of your overall profile and how you put forth the same as well as your goals through your essays.
All the best!

Gumbo_Stoic - Certain employers, particularly in analytical and competitive fields like consulting and IB, tend to consider GMAT scores during the hiring process. While it certainly isn't the case for all employers/ sectors, it's something to keep in mind.
Having said that, GMAT is an additional data point for the school to assess your abilities and make a decision. If the score is strong, it's a positive factor in your favour. Absent the score, the rest of the application i.e. CV, essays, fit/ motivation, interviews etc. would have to be super strong.
