Hey Everyone,
I am new to the GMAT Club and have a few questions. I take the GMAT in less than two weeks and I am getting nervous. I have been studying through Kaplan and feel much better then I started off. Even so, every practice GMAT I have taken (five so far) has been right at a 500. I was just curious to how much the GMAT weighs when in comes to MAcc admissions. I know it is important of course, but how much does it play into admission compared to a 3.73 GPA from a AACSB accreditied university. Also with multiple leadership roles in school such as Student Body President, CEO of the student business society, Treasurer of fraternity and etc. And lastly with multiple venues of professional experience such as tax intern at local community servious group, tax intern at a regionally sized firm, and tax preparer at a logal accouting firm. How much will these factors play into MAcc admissions.
My programs of interest are: University of Georgia, University of South Carolina, Clemson University, Auburn, and Alabama.
-Thank you,
Rhett
It really depends on the school. Top programs will care more about your GMAT than lower ranked programs. I would suggest that you change your way of thinking about the GMAT. If you approach the GMAT with the intent to get into a program, you might be leaving money on the table. The GMAT is a very big consideration for scholarships. I would take the GMAT as seriously as possible. I have heard too many stories of people that only studied for a week or two. Don't be that person. If you are scoring 500 on the practice GMAT, examine what your problems areas are. What are your raw Q and V scores on the practice exams?
