Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hello,
I’m a non-traditional background (design/ fashion) and got a 650 (Q50, V27, IR7) on my second test. I have been studying for GMAT for 4-5 months (on and off) and wonder if i should give another shot or just move on other parts of application.
I know that 650 is not a great score to get into US top schools + Insead, but i am confident with my diverse backgrounds & work experiences. Moreover, my GMAT journey has been pretty consistently rough with great quant scores (range of 48-51) and very poor verbal scores (range of 22-28) on actual & mock-up tests. So i am not so sure how much i can improve on my verbal in short amount of time as i am planning to apply on R1 & R2 this year... Also, besides the fact that I’m not a native English speaker, language/ literature/ reading/ verbal aren’t my strongest forte even in my mother tongue.
but i love & am good at math, even though i don’t have quant background.
As i was able to improve my score to 650 from my first test score 600 (Q49, V22, IR4), i believe i can improve more if i study longer & harder, but i also feel like i should strategize my application as a whole not just focus on GMAT.
Would you guys suggest me to take another one? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!

Hey flyhigher
Welcome to GMATClub.
If you are targetting the top US B-Schools and INSEAD, I think the GMAT score is not going to suffice.
Just to put things into perspective, most of these schools have an average GMAT score of around 700
and even if you have a non-traditional background it will be very difficult to get into these schools.
I would recommend you to talk to students with a similar profile who have been offered admission into
your target schools in the last couple of years. Also, I am moving this topic to a more appropriate forum
and would request you to give more details on your work experience so that the admission consultants
can give you a more detailed evaluation.
Hope this helps you.

Yes, you want to take the GMAT again so that you can be in the middle to high part of the avg GMAT range for your targeted schools.
If these are top schools that will look like 700+.
Sincerely,
GettingInMBA
