GMAT’s new integrated reasoning section continues to get mixed reviews from MBA admission officers, according to a survey out today (Oct. 24) from Kaplan Test Prep.
More than half of MBA programs are unsure of how important Integrated Reasoning (IR) scores will be in the evaluation process, with 54% responding “Undecided” to the question, “How important will a student’s Integrated Reasoning score be in your evaluation of their overall performance on the GMAT?” 22% say IR scores will be important, while 24% say IR scores will not be important.
The 2012 survey of business school admissions officers was conducted in August and September and includes responses from 265 MBA programs, including most of the schools in the top 25. The survey findings confirm an earlier report by Poets&Quants in August that most schools intend to ignore the new IR scores for now.
