Congrats to Op! Huge score and great debrief. Thanks +1
I'm kind of shocked that little more than a year ago, Knewton released a commercial CAT that allowed you to receive a Q46 with TWO incorrect answers. What use is an algorithm that can't give you a score that could be guesstimated almost perfectly by any soul who has been on this forum for a week? By the powers vested in me, by the internet and the ability to type... I hereby upgrade that Q result to Q50!
Seriously though, congrats again. I hope all went well with the applications or any other personal endeavours you undertook.
I was admitted to Michigan (Ross) with a scholarship in Round 1, so I'll be heading to Ann Arbor this summer.
For those of you still prepping for the GMAT, here's my experience. As most people will tell you, you check the box of "good enough" somewhere around the average GMAT score for a school's incoming class. Once a school has decided to accept you, many people believe that the GMAT score becomes a key factor in scholarship awards, because the GMAT is directly linked to a school's ranking. Of course, other parts of your profile play a large part in scholarship decisions, but those details are likely outside of your control.
While I certainly could have been admitted with my 700, I believe that my 770 gave me marginally better odds of admission, and significantly better odds of scholarship award.
