Hi Everyone! First time poster here (silent observer for about a year!)
I have taken the GMAT twice. First without little to no prep in October 2019, 650(Q47, V33, IR8). I just gave it again after a year since i decided not to apply for MBA programs last year due to certain personal circumstances. This time around i got a 690(Q44, V40, IR6) and am extremely disappointed in my Quant score. I guess I missed a few easy questions and that just dropped my score. In all the practice tests, i was averaging Q47-49 and V40-V44 (the last one was actually 770 Q49 V46) but regardless what matters is test day performance...
Moving on, a little bit of background:
Ethnicity/ nationality: Pakistani
Academic Background: 1:1 in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from University College London (UCL)
Work Experience: 2 years right now (3 at time of enrolment) - Approx 1.5 years in a boutique management consulting firm in Pakistan (projects in the middle east, turkey and pakistan). Approx 1.5 years (including the next 6 months or so) with the data collection and analysis unit of a well-known research centre/non-profit. During this time, i also launched an education app dedicated towards a local test which I ran for a year and then sold to a well-known organisation.
Extra-curricular - Involvement in Multiple community development projects such as water pipeline access to underprivileged areas. Habitat preservation for wildlife, trekking
Target Schools: Preferably UK but also looking at Europe. LBS, Said, Judge, Imperial, HEC, LSE (Management & Strategy)
Now, keeping in mind that i am on the younger side of the age bracket for typical MBA's (25 at the time of enrolment) I expect GMAT to play a huge role in the admissions process. I'm a little unsure about my GMAT score and whether a retake would be beneficial, could someone please guide!
P.S. if someone could point out other programs that i would be a good fit for?
Oh, and my GRE is 323 (161Q 162V) Gave it back in late 2018
Thankyou in advance for your help!

Hey - Since your work exp falls in the lower side of the spectrum, i would suggest you to appear for GMAT again as 690 is too less. Alternatively, you can use GRE score too

Hi Haaris96
Regarding your GMAT, since you scored as high as 770 on a practice exam, I think it's worth giving it another shot. If you do decide to retake the GMAT and want some advice, feel free to reach back out. Also, here are some helpful articles:
