justincase49, you know someone who got into HBS with a 640 GMAT? What a joke. The GMAT isn't that hard - I wonder how well that student performed in a complex quantitative class. (Maybe it's a non-issue with all of the grade inflation at HBS.)
640kid is probably saying

I wonder why all these smart asses think they are going to get into harvard because they work really hard for a standardised test. My start-up has got VC money from 3i, and we have fought off the PE company over the past three months. I have good management in to cover, and need an MBA so I can turn this thing into a huge Fortune 500 company. So what if I studied two hours for the GMAT. I have other priorities.
I mean, I really hope this is some kind of mock outrage. There is a disabilities section on the forms that aren't included in the GMAT.
Really, standardised tests are not that important. Otherwise, why in hell do they get everyone to report degree stats, work history, write four essays, get three recommendations (in harvards case)
They are just the way everyone seems to measure themselves against each other
if they have a high GMAT. There is a HUGE absence of data when you measure just by GMAT. Judging by your analysis, I have to just imagine how you will perform in econometrics. I suppose the grade inflation...
oh, and welcome. Just thought I should add that.
