I wonder is it better to do MBA/JD at my current law school (Dalhousie .... Canada ahem...) or get my JD, work for a while, make some $, and try to get into Harvard/Wharton?
I would love to know the Quant vs Poet Gmat scores. I`ve been given to understand that the reason for the 700 + averages at tier 1 schools is due to the huge number of people from quant backgrounds applying and getting in.
Quant is given a lot more weight in the admissions process, if not necessarily in the calculation of total score. A traditional "poet" score (extremely high verbal, middling to low quant) will almost never put someone in contention for a top 10 school, even if the cume is over 700. It's considered too imbalanced a score. On the other hand, an illiterate quant (700+, high quant, low verbal) has a pretty good shot at a top school.

the GMAT doesn't really test math ability, it tests logic ability and the ability to spot false answers and whatnot. I don't think it covered anything above 9th grade Algebra II.

This is because MBA programs love to play up their technical difficulty - when, in reality, you barely use math even in a finance focused MBA. When I say math, I mean calc and above.
Disagree. They don't care as long as you are above 70th percentile on both. And the math is easy anyway, it doesn't measure your quant ability
Disagree. A stereotypical Asian/Indian who has for his entire life seen academics as some kind of math contest will get your illiterate quant score, high 700's, and will have virtually no shot at a top school. These guys represent a huge proportion of applicants these days. If you've met the 80% quant threshold, I think a huge verbal (50+) makes you stand out a bit. Still, I think the importance of the GMAT is overstated. But what the **** do I know.
I did a shitload of multivariate calc and high-level statistics in my bschool classes. Not sure what University of Phoenix was like for you, however.
What classes did you do multivariate calc in? And specifically in which applications of finance? I've taken stats and econometrics but I guarantee I won't be taking beyond econometrics. Please, since you came back with such a ****** attitude about it, please feel free to tell us exactly how you used multivariate calculus and in what detail.
