No, I would not talk about the GMAT in your essays. Your essays should give them an idea about who you are as a person, not what you scored on some test that has nothing to do with accounting. Schools use the GMAT because it's a common thing to compare everybody against. Just submit your score and don't refer to it unless it shows something unique. For example, I scored really highly on the writing part, so I referred to that as evidence of my writing ability, which is not always common for accountants. It's all about distinguishing yourself from the pool of applicants.
PAR rankings are reliable. Case and wake forest are not well known for accounting.

OMG..You have been truely amazing man. You have been replying for all my queries. Thanks a lot. One final question. Can you like give your opinion on the following colleges. These are all from the PAR .
Drake University
Belmont University
University Of Richmond
James Madison
I thought of wisconsin white water because I heard that its good in the midwest and chances of getting an assistantship is high.
If you have any other good universities in your mind then please do put it forward so that I could consider them too.

You're lucky that I'm not working at the moment :)
I don't know that much, generally the lower it is ranked, the harder it will be to get a job. There are some other threads about that on the board.
The ones at the top of the PAR will have the best opportunities. But you should not only apply to them since they are harder to get into.
Looking at it again, I see wake forest almost made the top 25, so it is pretty comparable to vt and william and mary I guess.
