his article was originally published on Paul Bodine’s blog. Paul is a graduate admissions consultant with over 13 years of experience, having helped hundreds of applicants get into their dream business, law, medical, and graduate schools. He has also published several books on graduate admissions.
“What we found is students with less than 700 GMAT scores are often leaders in our community. They lead the clubs and organize conferences. They do very well in recruiting, and there’s very little correlation to the GMAT. Every year, at the end of the school year, what we look at is the quality of our incoming class. We look at their GPAs. I ask my director of career development to identify the students who were very successful in the recruiting process and the students who really struggled. I get input from the director of student life on who where the leaders of our school community and who struggled there. I ask our core faculty who were the students who stood out, who were the superstars and who struggled in class. I do the lists of superstars and strugglers and we go back and review their applications to see if there were things we missed or whether there were commonalities among the superstars and strugglers that we should look for going forward. Interestingly, GMAT has no correlation to who the superstars in the class are. I think there are some applicants who probably put all of their energy into studying for the GMAT at the expense of other things or that is just their predisposition. And they have not emphasized as much of the emotional intelligence or teamwork so they don’t tend to be leaders. That is not to say that everyone who submits a GMAT of 700 or over is not a leader, but it’s interesting to see that there is no correlation.” —Soojin Kwon Koh, director of admissions, University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

This korean woman was always finding any opportunities to reject applicants from China.作者: robertlau 时间: 2011-12-19 23:38
This is totally bullshit.......... I do not think there will be any apparent correlation between any factor to the so called superstar, be it GPA, or GMAT, or WE/title before MBA....
People who come out with such topic only expose their stupidity.......作者: TTK 时间: 2011-12-19 23:44
呵呵，就算是真的，录取的时候G/T/GPA 还是一个重要的参考，特别是G。只要你是中国人，除非背景出众，否则就逃脱不了这个命运。 再说这个调查应该也是有basis的吧，你拿美国的低G能social的人做参考来对比高G的外国人还未文化融入的人（一般是这样分布吧），这本身就是一坨X嘛作者: wawalmx 时间: 2011-12-21 22:47
我觉得说的有道理，不要一味否定不符合大众口味的话题，这样你永远只停留在自己的那片天空里。现在中国人一味追求G700+的风气实在忽视了其他很多东西，不过这也没办法，谁叫中国人多呢，跟高考一样，其实还不是中国人自己跟自己掐！作者: ALGT 时间: 2011-12-22 07:48
