Sam,
The middle 80% of the Haas Full time MBA GMAT scores range from 680 - 760. The middle 80% of the Haas Part Time / Weekend MBA GMAT scores range from 640 - 780. Your GMAT score of 600 (58% out of 100% percentile) would put you in the bottom 10% among your Haas classmates. I bring this up because you are the Ultimate Underdog who seems to beat all odds stacked against you (i.e. B-School, Blogging Business, etc.). I would assume that you also had to work / study at least twice as hard than your Haas classmates to get the same grades. You are a true inspiration to me!

Sam,
I wanted first thank you for being so real on your posts. Your SAT article caught my attention as my scores were also exactly the same as yours: 1040 (first attempt @ 16 junior year) and 1160 (second attempt). We are also the same age.
I was just curious if you remember what you scored on your GMAT?
My SAT scores were not good enough to get me into the School of Liberal Art and Sciences at the University of Michigan, so I applied to the school of Art and Design with my AP Art/Portfolio my freshman year. The college I wanted to attended was the Rhode Island of School of Design as a graphic designer, but my parents told me that I could not put food on the table as graphic designer and encouraged me to study business. When applying to the School of Art and Design at the U of M, they give 1/3 weight to your SAT score, GPA, and your design portfolio. I transferred internally to the school of LSA my sophomore year, then got accepted the BBA Program School of Business my junior year with a concentration in Finance.
Sam, seeing the success you have already achieved.. it clearly shows me that there is no correlation between how high your SAT scores are vs how successful you become as an adult.
Again, thanks for writing that article.
RWM.
Howdy! I got a 600 or so on my first try for my GMATs and just left it at that. Good enough! I applied and go into Berkeley's MBA program part-time.
GL on your journey!
