getting into Wharton - two bad GMAT attempts

Hi gmatpixie,

First off, both of your Scores are strong Scores, so either one might be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though - and you're interested in some highly-competitive Schools, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

You might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you. If you do choose to retest, then we should discuss your prior studies in more detail first.

Hi gmatpixie,

Regarding whether to retake, I agree that since you are asking an admissions-based question, you should reach out to one of the many admissions consultants here on GMAT Club. If you end up retaking the GMAT, feel free to reach back out, and I’d be happy to provide some further advice.

Good luck!

@matpixie - I recommend that you post your complete profile for review. Moving the topic to the Wharton forum. Thanks.
