I think if you later plan to get an MBA or go to graduate school it would be better to take the GMAT or GRE and list the breakdown, in particular the percentiles.

Hi. I just wanted to revive this thread because there were a few questions left unanswered.

Do firms request official reports from ETS? For the scores, I assume that if you have taken it more than once, you use your best scores regardless of sitting (super-scoring)? Also, will firms accept ACT scores and, if so, is there an unofficial cut-off?

Thanks.

I have the same question. And also, would getting past the cut-off of 1400 mean that they wouldn't care about your SAT score anymore in the application review process? A small difference in SAT scores shouldn't be why one applicant gets chosen over another...

From my experience...Goldman Sachs and Lehman brothers both asked for SAT scores just prior to my interview with them. Credit Suisse and Merrill Lynch did not ask for SAT scores. Not too sure about some of the others.
