With the  advent of chat rooms and blogs, armchair \u201cexperts\u201d often unintentionally  propagate MBA admissions myths, which can linger and end up undermining  your confidence as an applicant. For example, some MBA candidates are  led to believe that schools want a specific \u201ctype\u201d of applicant and  expect certain minimum GMAT scores and GPAs.
