applied - GMAT retake? [#permalink] New post 10 Jan 2013, 04:19
Hi,

I applied in Round 2 in Stanford, Harvard, MIT and Columbia. My application is strong, especially in the work experience part. The only problem is I took the GMAT only once and only got a 680 (Q47, V35), and I had to use that score in my application.

Questions
a) how strong chances do you think I have with that lowish score?
b) if I retake the GMAT on January 28th, do you think I could submit my new (higher) score to these schools? Would they accept it? I am sure I would score 700+

Thanks!

Hi elgreco1,

Thanks for posting. I recommend that you retake the GMAT and submit your new score. The reason is that your highest GMAT score is self-reported on your application, so admissions teams will focus on your best score. There is no harm in taking the test again.

Cheers,
