($) Which future career paths are not going to care if your GMAT is lower?

(Or GRE.)

Here’s the deal: Standardized tests support the meritocracy. They are biased. It’s true for all of them, the college entrance exams up through the GMAT and GRE for grad school.

Last year saw the combination of the pandemic which closed down testing centers, and the long-overdue awareness in this country of racism that came about from the filming of George Floyd’s murder.
