One of your most frequent questions MBA candidates ask is “What are the most important parts of your MBA application?”
You might ask because your GMAT is low and you are concerned this will doom your MBA admissions odds. Or because you got a monster GMAT and now you think your odds just shot up to the skies. Or maybe because you got a F in Intro to Calculus and a C+ in Accounting and you hope the MBA AdCom won’t notice (they will!).
When you search for this answer, most frequently you come across a chart that assigns each component a percentage weight. Most often, you will be told that the GMAT/GRE accounts for about 20% of the admissions decision and that your academic transcripts account for 18%.
It's important to understand where this information comes from and how to think about it. I have spent some time going into detail about how to interpret and use this data in order to maximize your chances for admission.
