This study addresses predictors of graduate success at the MBA level. Most previous research has concentrated on overall GMAT score and undergraduate GPA as predictors. This limited study concentrates on the components of the GMAT (quantitative, verbal, writing) and their roles in predicting success. Two results are significant. First, while writing and verbal are positively correlated, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between the quantitative and verbal scores. Further, while the GMAT verbal and writing scores demonstrate a statistically significant (p<.01) correlation with the three success variables (number of A's, number of C's, and graduate GPA), the GMAT quantitative score fails to demonstrate a significant (p=.05) correlation with any of the three success variables. One implication of this study is that schools might consider using the verbal and writing scores as additional indicators of potential success in the MBA program, especially for those applicants who are "on the bubble" of admissability.
