Good Luck

CAT is more complex as compared to GMAT. GMAT has a well-defined structure. But, there are a few sections in GMAT like the Verbal section that can be a little tough for non-native English speakers. CAT is only valid for 1 year while GMAT is valid for 5 years. Depending on your interests and plans, both the tests have their fair share of ease and difficulty. To know more about these tests, check the blog (https://leverageedu.com/blog/cat-vs-gmat/) which I found helpful.

For IISWBM's Evening MBA, CMAT, MAT and JEMAT Scores are accepted by the Institute for Admission.

hello,

Congratulations first of all forgetting such an amazing score in GMAT!!

Now, as for your Admission in MBA degree, your work experience will help you alot with your application by strengthening it. But I'm not quite sure of your percentage because the colleges you mentioned have a very low acceptance rate and their eligibility criteria demands atleast an 80% above overall standing in exams.

As for your GMAT scores, average GMAT score for LBS is 708, for Yale is 721 with an acceptance rate of 25% and average score for cambridge is between 687 - 700.

All in all, you really should put in your application, if it works out you might even he eligible for scholarships !

Good luck!!

Greetings, Shagun.

From what I could find out, you just have to update your score on the portal before the deadline. It appears that they do accept GMAT scores from 2019 onwards so there seems to be no bar as to the latest GMAT score that you get and upload just make sure you keep a screenshot of your core card until the actual results come out which you'd be asked for later in the process.

I'm sure you must have seen this but still I am attaching the link to the MICA webpage with more info for convenience.

best of luck.

A GMAT score is valid for 5 years. Even if you have a 5 year Old Score you can apply with it. As far as your issue is concerned, I believe initially in the MICA Application only your GMAT Score will be asked which you easily get to know poat the test. Howevee do try to take a screenshot and keep that with you until you have the Official Result.
