The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is used by many graduate schools of business
as one of their admission criteria. GMAT scores for selected undergraduate majors are shown
below. Using your own reasoning and concepts in this chapter, criticize each of the following
statements.
a. “Philosophy majors must not be interested in business since so few take the GMAT.”
b. “More students major in engineering than in English.”
c. “If marketing students majored in physics, they would score better on the GMAT.”
d. “Physics majors would make the best managers.”
Likely fewer Philosophy majors to begin with.
Likely more engineer want an MBA, so they take it.
