It should be a positive indication of one’s ability to handle graduate level work.

Your son may want to consider sitting for either the GMAT or the GRE after taking a few sample tests online. The scores remain valid for 5 years. If your son does well enough, he can apply for deferred admission to many of the most elite MBA programs including Harvard & Stanford.

The MBA programs which are the most highly regarded are referred to as the M-7 group of MBA programs. (The “M” stands for magnificent or magic depending upon the source & refers to the quality of the career opportunities open to graduates of these 7 programs.)

The M-7 schools are:

Harvard
Stanford
UPenn-Wharton

Northwestern–Kellogg
Chicago–Booth

MIT–Sloan
Columbia

After the M-7 programs:

UCal-Berkeley (Haas)
Dartmouth-Tuck
Yale–School of Management

NYU–Stern is great for finance
Michigan–Ross
Duke–Fuqua
Virginia–Darden
