<p>“those with scores in the 500 range tend to not do so well in MATH DEPENDENT majors. They may be stellar college students in other fields, so if considering a non-math dependent field I wouldn’t let a low score deter a student”</p>
<p>Anecdotes are not evidence, of course (I already presented evidence.) My d., with scores in that range (and in the bottom 15% of students entering), graduated in three years magna cum laude, and was named top student in the department - ACCOUNTING! (like a little “math-dependent”?) Her GMAT scores were even worse. They waived them for her graduate program, where she is now carrying a 3.9 GPA. </p>
<p>Don’t make assumptions. The College Board has been studying this issue for more than 20 years. It’s their test, and they make money by selling it. If they could find more correlations than they have, they’d be trumpeting it to the skies.</p>
