Hello fellow GmatClub members,
This is my first post on the forums (I have been reading GmatClub forums for a while though), I took the GMAT this past Thursday, and I ended up with a 700 score (Q47,V39). I am planning to apply to some of the top bschools such as CBS, Booth, Wharton, and NYU. After talking to a few bschool friends, I was advised that I should consider re-taking the GMAT because my Quant score is too low. I felt discouraged after hearing that and since the round 1 app deadlines are drawing near, I need to decide if I should re-take the test soon. I studied about a month prior to taking the test. In all my practice CATS, I consistently scored 49-50 for the Quant section, and 35 for the Verbal section (both are averages).
A little background info about me - I am current working as a tech. analyst for an i-bank in the Fixed Income research business, and I have 2 years of fulltime working experience. My undergrad major was in Computer Engineering and my overall undergrad GPA is not high at all.
Please share your views of my situation.
Thank you.
Hi SPY, welcome to gmat club!!
Kindly check this thread
should-i-retake-gmat-thread-retaking-gmat-strategies-83339.htmlI am always in favor of not retaking gmat, provided the score is within 20-30 points of avg gmat scores of one's targeted schools. You can check the details in the above link.
Best of luck for your plans & keep us posted.
