Does the GMAT Matter for Executive MBA Students? Some Empirical Evidence
研究了GMAT分数、本科背景和工作经验与高级管理人员工商管理硕士项目学业成功的关系,发现GMAT分数与整体成绩关系微弱,而工作经验尤其是职业晋升与整体表现显著正相关。
I examine the relation of several factors, including the GMAT score, undergraduate background, and work experience to academic success in an executive MBA program. The GMAT score was found to have a weak, if any, relation to overall academic success for executive MBA students, although it was positively and significantly related to performance in a smaller set of first-year classes. I found work experience, particularly career advancement, to be significantly and positively related to overall program performance. The results also show some significant grade differences by gender, indicating that women performed as well or better than men with similar credentials.
