There’s got to be a better use of that money.

This. If you are going to pay 50k for GMAT prep, maybe you don't have the business sense to attend Harvard Business School.

-- from someone who taught SAT and LSAT for Kaplan (although, admittedly, not GMAT). [/quote]

Absolutely do not spend that. Completely idiotic. Perfect scores on that are a dime a dozen. Take a regular Kaplan class and leave it at that. Also, what does he want to do after business school? He may be better just staying where he is instead of losing 2 years and paying for school. [/quote]

I do not understand why people make comments like this.  If OP has the money to do it, why not?  There are many parents that drop 20K for SAT prep so that their kids can get perfect scores on the SAT.

Because it is stupid and idiotic to do that.  The kid has a CS degree, is working at Apple (top company).  No need to spend $50K on GMAT test prep.    And once you have a great undergrad degree and excellent job, you need to seriously consider "why you want the next degree" and what you plan to do with it.  It would be 2 years lost wages, the $50K test prep (apparently) and the $75K tuition each year plus living expenses (so ~$200K for the 2 years as Boston is not cheap).  So unless you are independently wealthy, one needs to seriously consider why you would pay over $200K to get a degree and loose over $200K in salary, so essentially why you'd pay almost $500K to get a degree?  What do you really want out of life?  Will it even give you a pay raise?  Most people cannot justify spending half million dollars to have the same salary at the end of the 2-3 years.  [/quote]
