Application is quite tricky. Luck plays a too important role especially at current stage.

Wish all of us can have luck..

Yeah, it's sort of lucky-draw.  Hehehe.....

So, let it be ....

I never thought my GMAT could be the disadvantage, for sure, it isn't advantage either..

Gmat Score绝对没有大家想的那么重要。

我跟CHICAGO的ADMISSION STAFF聊过，她亲口跟我说过，中国学生上了700分就不再看你的GMAT分数了，剩下的工序就是对application package的其他方面进行评估。如果你其他条件很好，GMAT680也会考虑的。

当然如果你的GMAT在780以上，会留有很深刻的印象，在给SCHOLORSHIP时会有优势。但仅仅只有GMAT高分什么用也没有，我就知道今年CHICAGO有800分被直接ding掉的，without interview.

Hi, thanks for heading in.  Actually, we are not discussing the importance of GMAT score...

Our consensus here seems that:

a. GMAT is not the most important, but not the least important. So, still, the higher, the better.

b. It's a lucky-draw game for some... e.g. the example you gave for Chicargo..Well, it's only an individual case.

c. Luck is luck.  Nobody can control or change it.  What we can do is to try it.  So, after trying, let's let it be and accept whatever result comes out.

Totally agree!

I got a ding as expected-no interview till the last minute;

I got a ding as unexpected-I think I have good essay package.

But at least I'm sure essays are not as important as stated by the adcom, at least in my case. I'm here not over optimistic about my essays.

Now it's time to look at my file in retrospect, to find out what's my detrimental drawbacks that kick me out even without interview.

Best of luck to all of us!
