How important is GMAT Score?

Don't get all confused with voices from every direction making you comfortable saying "GMAT score is not everything". But that's a different sentence altogether. Yes, I agree GMAT score is not everything, but it matters a lot ! And its different for different profiles. Here's how it goes.

Woman A : Born and brought up in Mexico. Excelled all throughout in school and college. Awarded by the highest authority of the State for her extra ordinary performance in sports. Working with a multi billion dollar company as Senior marketing executive for the past 7 years. Started a small business last year, which is flourishing well and needs an MBA to grow further. GMAT score of 650 can fetch her the best of the schools! We're talkign about Harvard, Wharton... and the likes......

Man A : Champ in school. Champ in college. Champ in sports. Indian/IT/2years. Nothing extra ordinary. except GMAT score 780. This score still wont get him the best... but he sure has his options. The top 10 will consider him i guess. the next ten will be interested. The next lot will want him and so on....

The woman says "GMAT is not everything"
The Man says "GMAT Score Matters!"

So people, in my opinion, GMAT score matters in most of the cases.
"A good GMAT score will help you. An average GMAT score doesn't mean the end of everything".
