<p>Uh, I think you should picked up by context that I was talking about graduate business schools - in other words, MBA’s. And there is obviously no tight SAT range when you’re talking about MBA students. </p>

<p>Grade nondisclosure is a common policy feature at many of the top MBA programs. The policy was cancelled this year at HBS, after 8 years of being in effect. But it’s still a feature at Stanford, Chicago, and Wharton. </p>

<p>The policy is generally not so strict that ‘you can’t put your GPA down’. Obviously you can choose to do anything you want. The issue is what the student community standards are. At those schools, the general policy accepted by the student bodies is to adhere to grade nondisclosure. Of course, since you’re on the honor system, you can choose to violate the policy. But this is considered to be poor form that will probably hurt your relations with other students if it were to be known, and keep in mind that the networking is arguably the most important benefit of any business school. So by choosing not to abide by community rules, you are potentially hurting your networking opportunities. It may also be considered to be poor form by the recruiters themselves. For example, what if you were a Wharton student and, in violation of the community policy, you listed your GPA to get an interview with a company, only to be interviewed by another Wharton grad? I know that if I was that interviewer, I would not take too kindly to that candidate. </p>
<p>Now, I know what you might say - that my posts here talk strictly about MBA programs and have nothing to do with undergrad. Well, I admit, I haven’t been in undergrad for awhile so I don’t know exactly what’s going on with undergrad recruiting these days. But I would contend that if, right now, plenty of MBA recruiters are asking for GMAT scores, even for OCR (and certainly for ‘stealth’ recruiting). So, given that, is it really so hard to believe that some undergrad recruiters would ask for SAT scores?</p>
