Hi Everyone!! Just finished my 2nd attempt today and wanted to reach out for advice regarding my scores. Much to my dismay, there was no improvement and I still scored the same thing - 710 - on this 2nd attempt.
1st Attempt: 710 - V44 Q44 IR5 AWA6
2nd Attempt: 710 - V41 Q46 IR7 (still waiting for AWA)
Not sure if I should cancel my 2nd score since it’s still 710 or if it’s worth keeping since at least my Quant and IR improved? I honestly don’t have time or bandwidth (both mentally, financially, and emotionally haha) for a 3rd retake given my workload. I’m also set on applying for R2 this application cycle but haven’t given much time preparing my essays since I’ve been focused on the GMAT, so I'd like to use the last few months of the year working on the rest of my application.
For context, my background is a bit non-traditional. I'm a licensed MD that pivoted to more upstream within healthcare - I now work in the Strategy and Business Development team of a healthcare holding company. I feel like my academic track record is pretty solid - graduated Magna Cum Laude in undergrad, and scored in the 99th percentile in the national medical admissions test. Since I'm an MD, my work XP is on the shorter side ~ 3 years in total, 4 if you consider my year-long medical internship at the hospital (equivalent to PGY1) as work XP.
Was hoping to at least score around 730 or 740 to make up for my non-traditional background and lack of work experience. I know 710 is not necessarily a bad score but I'm scared that scoring 710 twice will look bad to the AdComs since there's no improvement in the overall score. That said, thinking if I should cancel the 2nd score or not.
Would you guys suggest I cancel my 2nd attempt or keep it? Will it look bad on my application that there was no score improvement and that my verbal went down? Any advice or inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thank you so much!

If you decide to retake for any reason, consider getting the ESR. If you have a heavy workload, perhaps getting some time off work or a temporarily reduced workload may be possible. Studying early in the morning instead of forcing yourself after work in the evening could be helpful as well.

Hi fydrmd,
First off, either 710 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Your more recent result (with the Q46) would likely be slightly better for your applications though. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement (and the more time that you have to act on that advice, the better). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
