I hear some finance and management consulting companies ask for your GMAT score when applying (ex: Goldman), how often does that really happen with these types of companies for MBA type jobs?
More often than you would think. If you scored really well on the GMAT, 700+, I would definitely include it on your cv.
If you’re from MBA, GMAT is just another easy other piece of info for companies to obtain like height, weight, vertical or 3rd grade shuttle run. I compete with MBAs for some positions and while it definitely varies I do see GMAT inquiries on many of the questionnaires. I once interviewed at a HF that asked for my SAT.
^ must’ve been Shaw.
