I am worried about my GMAT, since I am not a good test taker and mock scores vary 20-40 points so I am not sure if I can do any better in my reattempt. I have had a good academic record through and have accomplished a lot of high merit things in my field. Can someone give me my chances and help me analyse my profile?

Hey, thankyou for you review.
I understand that the score is low for deferred but I will still give it a shot. However, I always wanted to apply to EU - hec paris insead etc after a few years, will the score be enough then?
Also how about deferred in rice, tepper, emory and mcdonoughs?

Hi and congratulations on your achievements and your profile. Do you have a rather unique profile and the strong one. However, your test score is on the low side for the deferred programs. Competition tends to be stiff for these early programs because they’re only so few spots.

I’m not sure what makes the most sense right now in terms of strengthening your application and whether taking the test or focusing on essays may be better but I can tell you that risk of applying is pretty low since you can always apply in two or four or five years.

I would recommend for you to take a test, any test, GRE, GMAT, GMAT Focus now while you’re still fresh out of undergrad. Whether you get admitted or not, most people still reapply later and unless you want to take the test again, it would be very handy to have it for future applications. Just pointing out something that I’ve seen over the years.

However, low chances doesn’t mean impossible so there’s always a chance👍
