GMAT scores - do employers care?

[travo]

Do potential employers look at GMAT scores or are they strictly for applying to graduate school?

Dunno. I drive German, so it's never come up.

I've never heard of a company asking for a GMAT score.

Because if you've listed that you have an MBA, they will really only care (at most) your MBA GPA. And if you don't have a MBA, they would assume you've never taken the GMAT.

I can't imagine a college grad being asked for the SAT score. Same concept.

Employers in some fields (banking, P.E, etc) routinely ask for GMAT scores and SAT scores.

I LOLed.

Back in 2003 when the market was tough, I-Banks used GMAT scores to screen out initial interviews at 2nd tier schools like UT but they were not considered past that stage as far as I know.

Right, back when the market was tough. Thank goodness the sunny days are upon us now!!

The general rule of thumb for MBA students should be to include the GMAT score on the resume if it's 700+. Otherwise omit it.
