Aringo client with 580 at HBS - really?

Brussels · 发表于 2011-11-29 15:04:15

Guys,

My (third) GMAT is 580. My dream is, and has always been, HBS. I have been spending the past two years working on the GMAT, bringing it to where it (unfortunately) is. What would it take to get in? I have an undergrad degree from a top Belgian university with distinction, and I come from a large (200+ people) family business (industrial lighting) where I am now VP of Biz Dev.

First, as to HBS themselves, they do not say or declare in any way whether 580 could be relevant. Second, after two years of dealing with this, I just saw on Aringo.com site that they are claiming they put a client with 580 at Harvard. I emailed them. Is this bullshit? One-time lucky case? The lowest-GMAT person I heard of (friend of friend of friends) got into HBS with 660, but this 580 thing gave me some hope (after I kind of already gave up about HBS), if (?) it is no bullshit.

Am I hallucinating? Or - give me some hope… heard of other such cases?

Brussels to Boston

Never try, never know. You could be the next Mr. Harvard with a 580.

hehe.... If you got connections like George Bush, you would have a shot!

Who knows? Just go to try!

forget about it! it's a long shot.
just study hard and take the GMAT again, or maybe try the GRE, i know HBS accept it. good luck!

Think twice, 580 means you will suffer very much in HBS even if you get it.

Not doing well on a standardized case is ok. It is just one among the many factors they the ADcom will look at. If you have a strong GPA, a super essay that sounds super convincing, and along with your outstanding resume, you surely have a shot.

You will not know how far you can go unless you run.

580 is all you got for two years studying the GMAT? really?

It doesn't take a mentally challenged person to question your ability to survive a top mba program academically, but again, George W went to HBS, and if they had GMAT at that time, he probably would've scored in your range too.
