[原创]（心得）不要太执著，GMAT成绩真的不是那么重要（5/23修订）

不管是否去欧美TOP,只要LZ根据个人的情况考虑出发,选择一条适合的自己的路,就OK了.我们要的是适合自己的,而不是非要去最好的,最好的也不一定就适合自己.以LZ的背景也完全可以去欧美TOP,outofafrica的建议也不错.总之还是要走适合自己的路,尊重LZ的决定.

I agree with this arguement. Because although my spoken English is not good at all, my written English, as mentioned by my professor, is much better than my American graduate peers.  If you have an opportunity to study in the U.S., you will notice that you even have difficulty in comprehending those essays written by poor GMAT testakers.  The validity of GMAT cannot be disproved simply becasue some guy says that it is an exam preparation tool.  Keep in mind though, in top B-school in the U.S, there are tons of examinations.  Take mine for example, there are 4 midterms and 1 final.  This does not include case discussion and group presentation.  I hope CD followers will not be deviated by some unique, unrepresentative cases.  A serious preparation in GMAT is quite important to hone up your English skill for intensive b-school education; no one will feel sorry for you if your essay is not comprehensable.  However, on the other hand, if you just want to get into a party school such as XXX, good command of English is not necessary, because those third tier instructors also do not use English in the classroom.  In America, we call those TTT (Third Tier Toilet). 

 

I feel shame of your words, if you are really a so called famous B-school student.

Different people have different background and different career goal, and i just want to share my own experincens with other CDers. If you disagree with me, it's ok. But hope you will respect others' choices!!!

今天我的朋友（native English speaker) 告诉我她三战的成绩640， 一战580，写作4分还是4.5分记不清了。还有一些国内学理工科的GRE考将近满分，可是听说写真不好，PS 也还让我帮着改了好多遍。个人感觉GMAT和GRE不能准确衡量英文水平，更重于测试对标准化考试的适应度。我觉得lz 多年前就能过英语8级，Tofel 分数也很高，英文水平确实应该不错的。不过当然以lz这么好的工作背景和英文底子，如果家庭和工作单位支持（有些公司出钱让员工读1年的program)，也可以考虑INSEAD等欧洲名校(1年）。

 Anyway, 支持和欣赏lz的选择！

如果这样，the answer is Fudan-HK University, 这样就可兼顾学业，事业和家庭了

Hope my brother will be your future schoolmate, but he is too busy 16x6 to prepare GMAT.

That is before 2003, GRE is computer-based.  Current GRE average is 400 + for mainland Chinese students.  You can see this statistics from ETS research report.  Finally, score reflects student' aptitude.  When somebody tells you his GRE, make sure whether it is on 2400 basis or 1600 basis. 2400 scale is for examination held before 2003 split examinaton reform.  However, people have more difficutly in memorizing SC than Ananlogy, that is why GMAT is not reformed upon the examination. Do not use emotion to argue with someone. Be sure to use evidence and logic.

What are you talking? Camellia07 never mentioned that her friend took a GRE test.

Anyway, i dislike your attitude. Even if you might be a famous B-school student and had a good GMAT scores, I doubt you will have a brilliant career in the future!
