Hi all,

As part of our ongoing Youtube video series, we are going to do a talk with a handful of T-15 programs in the coming months. The goal of the sessions we conduct will be to dispel rumors and help clarify points of confusion around the application process. Given the breadth of this topic, I ask that you please read below and then fill out the poll to let us know what you MOST want to hear about! If you do not see an option that you want us to discuss, please comment below and I will update the poll.

Topics:

1. Test requirements in 2021
- Test optional vs. required
- Alternative test vs GMAT
- Difference between online vs. in person GMAT
- Does AWA/IR matter
- Difference between 760 and 780

2. Competitive Demographics
- Evaluation of similar candidates
- Best way to present yourself
- Candidacy at a school as a minority
- Does international GPA matter? (it is not reported to rankings)

3. Undergraduate GPA
- Options and view of a low GPA
- GPA Vs. GMAT vs. Work Experience vs. Personal Story weighting
- International GPA impact

4. Miscellaneous
- Feedback post-decision
- STEM impact
- View of reapplicant and changes required
- Scholarship negotiation criteria and weighting important
- COVID impact on job placement
- What is the REAL difference between the T-15

5. Add an option that you want to see

We see people getting in with average GRE scores of 650 vs. GMAT of 710. Why would anyone take the GMAT?

Schools no longer give feedback for applicants. Is there a reason?
Reapplicants - do they need to ask recommenders to write something new (e.g. something that happened last year)
Also, should we rewrite the essays. Probably :)

How to differentiate schools and how they can be different. There are stereotypes for Booth being finance and Darden being IB. My guess those schools dont' want just IB and Finance people joining.

There are obviously guides for schools that consultants put out
Maybe we can write these based on interviews with students?

This seems like an attack on GRE test takers :P (jk), GRE to GMAT score converter is flawed, to begin with even ETS admits that.
Moreover, I think they do look at the percentiles as well.

Some schools clearly mention for e.g. Yale that they expect a 10 point higher percentile for GRE Quant compared to GMAT quant because supposedly GRE is easier.

Not to mention GRE is not even preferred for Consulting/IB companies as one of the filtering criteria for them is high GMAT score.

We should basically ask all these questions to ETS why would anyone give GRE over GMAT ?

I believe that the quoted case would exist considering the demographics and geographic location of candidate.

I rather believe that it's an unspoken and unappreciated inference that candidates with equivalent GRE scores are considered less prominently than candidates with GMAT.

The pattern is especially evident with MBA aspirants from India.
