Re: [ALOCHONA] Sajeeb Wazed Joy has a 96th percentile score in GMAT

 

I think GMAT is for business school.

 

But Joy is not in business school.
If I am not wrong, he went Kennedy School of Government.

 

Am I missing something?

Or may be, politics also require a certain degree of business acumen .. 

 

Just plain curiosity - is not the score of a candidate is confidential?

Getting a high GMAT is indeed an high achievement and may help someone to get ahead in graduate school but it does not indicate wisdom. That requires a lot of effort, willingness to listen and to do the right thing. Congratulations to Joy on this point and I hope he has much success in his life.

Taking GMAT, GRE or ACT like tests are simply aptitude tests; a test of logical and analytical skills. A good GMAT or GRE score doesn't really mean anything beyond the admission phase. The only skills you pick up are how to cram a lot of information in a very short period, in an organized manner, and analyze it quickly.   Just my two cents.   Cyrus From: Dr. M.

Your information has solidified my arguments that Joy is a brilliant student and his Harvard degree is a prestigious which he didn't buy but he earned through his hard work of study.   Mr. Enayetullah is basically a Jamat-oriented person. He has been writing against Awami League from the past 10 years. He has been praising all the misdeeds of the Jamat-BNP Jote Goverments from 2001 to 2006.   I challenged him to disclose his identity by giving his and his family's information as I have given mine so that people can know what the person is doing in his actual life. But Mr. Enayet Ullah has failed to come out with his real identity.   These Razakar paid agents are always after the Awami League leaders, especially Awami League Leader Sheikh Hanisa and her son Sajeed Wazed Joy. They would defame Joy in any way with a bunch of lies and misinformation.   I hope, after reading your information they will stop spreading lies about Joy.   Thank you.   Mohsin Ali.   --- On Fri, 2/6/09, Shah Mahmood <smahmood20@yahoo. com> wrote: From: Shah Mahmood <smahmood20@yahoo. com> Subject: Sajib Wazed Joy has a 96th percentile score in GMAT To: BCCDIcommunity_ news@yahoogroups .com, baainews@yahoogroup s.com, khabor@yahoogroups. com, drmohsinali@ yahoo.com, Diagnose@yahoogroup s.com Cc: dcvoice111@yahoo. com, enayet_2000@ yahoo.com, mansurk2003@ yahoo.com, khandaker.a. mansur@census. gov, 2006sattar@gmail. com, abdus.sattaar@ gmail.com, akhter@erols. com, malamgir1@aol. com Date: Friday, February 6, 2009, 10:20 PM Dear Mr. Enayetulla, Dr. Mohsin Ali, Mr. Asgar and others: I have been following the discussion in this thread for the last several weeks. I have observed that most of the discussants in the thread have made their remarks without knowing the pertinent information about the candidate that they are talking about.  I have been particularly surprised when someone was hinting that Joy is anything but brilliant. A sensible person should not pass such a sweeping remark without knowing the complete story.  How do you measure the brilliancy of a person? In this country, the brilliancy of a student, as far as their ability to get into a good school is concerned, is measured by the scores that the students obtain in various tests such as SAT, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT etc. We have seen that good schools run after the good scorers in these tests and entice these students to their campus - the schools even compete to get them by giving more incentives than other offers.  I have seen that a good scorer not only gets admission but also gets scholarships and other facilities from the school. I was surprised to see a comment in one of these postings that some one's son can get a Harvard degree if the perosn can spend $74,000  - there was no mention of other requirements for the admission. Mr. Enayetullah, are you making this comment out of personal vendetta against AL and/or Joy? Do you know how many people in this country can spend that much money for a Harvard degree? Why then there are only 55 students in the class? Aren't you downgrading an institution like Harvard University by making such an irresponsible and unfounded statement. Sajib's GMAT score was 720 out of 800, which was a 96th percentile score that year and his Harvard GPA was 3.63. The average GMAT score two years ago to get into Harvard and Wharton Business Schools, the top two in the world, was about 690. So he definitely excelled the average score requirements for getting into the class and with this score, I am sure, he could get into many other schools at Harvard. I am forwarding this information to let you know that, he did not get into Harvard University because of his monetary strength only (frankly speaking, I don't know how much he paid there), he had other requisite qualifications - he could not have got there using his bank balance alone. Finally, if the scores in various tests are any measure of brilliancy at all, then what a 96th percentile score in GMAT would mean in terms of brilliancy? I let you judge it. As far as the GPA is concerned, I would say that 3.63 is an impressive score whether it is a mid-career degree or not. Shahjahan Mahmood
