<p>sakky,
You know I’ve been out of this game for so long, so I have to rely on what I heard from the students I have contact with. None has reported anything like this so far. Btw, if you are an accounting student, don’t worry about this … I know for a fact that the Big 4 don’t operate this way.</p>
<p>But let’s assume what you say is true for certain elite employers. If you were the recruiter, would you screen applicants based on their college GPA or SAT scores? Let’s be realistic. For on-campus recruiting, you are not dealing with an insurmountable number of applicants that you have to resort to mechanical process like SAT cut-off. How many LFM applicants would J&J get on a given recruiting trip? I’m sure they can afford to evaluate each resume without resorting to using the SAT scores for cut-off.</p>
<p>Btw, HBS and MIT are bad examples. Why would you care about the SAT scores if you are recruiting at these schools? Wouldn’t they be more interested in their GMAT scores?</p>
<p>p.s. I would like to hear from current Haas/Ross/McIntire/McCombs students if they experience what sakky described above in their job/internship interview process.</p>
