Profile Evaluation Request [#permalink] New post   29 Jul 2016, 09:59
Hello,

Profile: Just graduated from Big Ten school, studied finance, plan on pursuing MBA in 4 or 5 years
- White Male, 22
- Will be starting work as an investment banking analyst at a MM bank
- GMAT first attempt - 690, Second attempt 720 (Q45 V44)
- solid leadership extracurriculars while at school
- Goal: (before MBA is --> better known IB --> PE) After MBA: PE
- Target schools: Tuck, Columbia, Booth, MIT, Cornell

I might be able to squeeze out an extra 10 or 20 points on the gmat if I retake and study for about 25 more hours, but would it more worthwhile of my time to try to improve my app other ways? Online classes/ non-profit involvement/ etc.? I know I am in a very competitive pool of applicants.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. You are coming from a competitive applicant pool and are slightly on the fringes of the average score for most of the top schools you are applying to. Given the time you have before you actually apply I would try and get those extra 10-20 points to best set you up
