Need HELP- GMAT Score drop for 680 to 650 [#permalink] New post   25 Jul 2014, 02:44
Hi,

I just gave the GMAT yesterday and sadly my score dropped from 680 (Q49, V34) to 650 (Q50, V28).

My question is
What GMAT score does the ADCOM consider and during the interviews will they have access to both my scores?

I am considering Kellogg, Columbia, Duke and Cornell.

Thanks

Well, they probably won't ask you too much about your GMAT, as for the schools your GMAT is your GMAT. For application purposes, your higher score matters, although I should say that with only a 680 your school list is very ambitious.

Best,

It depends. Can you get higher? And with how much effort? And when do you want to apply? Basically, if you can get higher, then yes!

But you know not everyone can reach a 730, so knowing one's limits is also helpful, because then you can concentrate on the more useful stuff.
