Submiting GMAT to Weatherhead

Question

Hello everyone, I really need your help

I just did my interview with Weatherhead b school, the interviewer asked me to prove my quant skills since I did not submit a GMAT in the application.

I have 570 GMAT (Q41, V28), I chose not to submit my score to them because I believed it would hurt my application, should I send this score now since I don't have much time the retake the test?
please help

I do not know if that will really matter at this point, plus your low V score (and overall low score) will do more harm than good. Can you even submit a score way after the deadilne? My guess is not?

Also, how did you respond to your interviewer's question about your quant skills in real-time?

There are other ways to demonstrate your quant skills. You could take a separate course (though the effectiveness of this strategy is highly in question), you can have your recommenders speak to this in their letters or supplemental letters, and you can put together a write-up on some quantitative work you have completed in your job or elsewhere, if appropriate.

Overall, I think you should just sit back and see what happens. If you are waitlisted, you can reach back out and consider options for improving your chances assuming your quant skills are even the factor that holds you back.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for responding
She said that any proof of my quant skills will be preferable, so if I do submit my GMAT the adcom will still take it in consideration. I responded to the interviewer's question about my quant skills by saying that I came from an engineering background and I studied very complex mathematics subjects in college(as shown in my transcripts), so I can handle the quantitative subjects in MBA easily

Do you have any recommendations for online quant courses that I can take?
Thanks

Hello  Elyazid ,

Hope this finds you well.

Your quantitative skills will not look appealing even if you share this GMAT score.

We would recommend that you share a write-up focusing on how your education and career as an engineer speak of your quant skills- of course, you will need to add all relevant details. Certifications need to be chosen by you basis your interests but will definitely help.

All the best!

It sounds like you answered her question perfectly fine. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're letting your personal concerns about not submitting your GMAT score is clouding your judgment. It was only an interview question, not a formal request from the AdCom. If the AdCom needs that information to make a decision or to determine your status on the waitlist, they will ask.

If I were you, I would hold tight and let the process play out. An online course at this time is not necessary and, in our opinion, going to make any difference. I would wait and see if you get in and if you're waitlisted what the AdCom says you should do. For all we know, your quant skills are not a real issue!
