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 I did hiring at a top nyc investment bank and kids like this were weeded out in the first round, if they even made it to that. He’s looking at this completely wrong (and weird how involved his mother is). We wanted the kids that had a story for why he/she went to b school and what they wanted to do whey got out. We didn’t care about standardized test scores and neither does admissions. We cared about kids who were strategic and smart w/ numbers. The kid who came in w/ a story of the quants model he did and then invested his first year or signing bonus into bc he believed in it that much. That’s who we hired. Not the kid who was so focused on ticking boxes and had zero confidence or ability to get somewhere on his own that he fell for the knob who’d take $50k and teach him what he should be able to teach himself.
