G

I took a class with MGMAT back in April 09. I got busy at work with Budget and forecasts - during the mid year . I took the GMAT in Oct after studying the whole of Nov. ( i was not working) i got a 550 - 35 Q and 31 V. awa 4.5. I then went ahead and applied to schools with a mindset of Retaking it in Jan. I took the exam in Mid Jan and got the same score -550 with 41 Q and 24 V. AWA 5. I had applied to 4 schools Ross, Tuck, darden and Tepper. I got rejected by three and waitlisted by Tuck. They asked me to retake my GMAT - Waitlist movt is seen Beg of June. I started private tutoring in April with Manhattan Tutor, and she advised to give it a shot on May 2... to help me with stamina and also with a possibility of retaking it again beg of June. I took it again yesterday - score is the same 550 Q 39, V 26 AWA ? I am to meet with my tutor this week although I'm just really frustrated and have a couple of quest. My essay stories were compelling according to the adcom.

Should i bother retaking GMAT again? I am afraid that i might take it and its viewed -vely as i have scored the same score consistently. How many times is too much -retaking the GMAT?
Should i refocus my energy on other schools?

I am really torn especially because i know I'm smart, i just don't understand what it is with the GMAT. I am not from a background of standardized testing and this is a just my nightmare and the hold up in getting into a top MBA program. I know the material. I just cant get to perform well.
I have a unique background - i went to DePaul univ - non native English speaker. I studied finance and econ full-time classes
(evening) working full time at GE. I graduated with a GPA of 3.2. Clearly the GMAT is bogging me down.
