Although a high GPA and GMAT combination score is something that is admired by the Admissions Committee (Adcomm), it is not the only attribute the Adcomm look at when admitting a candidate. An Adcomm would rather admit a person with a lower GPA/GMAT combination and a good well-rounded background and empathetic view of the world, rather than a person with a high GPA/GMAT score from a perceived elitist.
