How can an Indian explain a low GMAT score since we are supposed to be good test takers?

anonymous How can an Indian explain a low GMAT score since we are supposed to be good test takers? I know that this has become mainstream but really how are we supposed to explain otherwise? Would we still need to consider explaining if it is within the 80% range of a school? #MBA #gmat

Kofi Kankam expert Hi Sai - you are not "supposed" to be good test-takers. I know what you mean, but I would simply rely on your other metrics: Analyis at work/great recommendations and good grades (including taking some courses in accounting, finance, or economics) can be helpful. {{ 1435071950657+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my Linda El Awar, Shannon Lopez and 2 other users like this

: Shannon Lopez expert Couldn't agree more with @Kofi Kankam. Stereotypes are rarely a good thing, and I'd urge you to not let a potential stereotype hold you back. Focus on all the good you've got! {{ 1435235445256+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous, Sunny Ng like this Share

: anonymous @Kofi Kankam @Shannon Lopez Thanks for the replies :) It's something that I have heard wherever I turned so I felt inclined to ask. Thanks again. {{ 1435551781130+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my Shannon Lopez, Kofi Kankam like this Share
