Re: GMAT 3rd Attempt for 750+ Score? [#permalink]

Hello,

I was wondering how M7 schools would view a 3rd GMAT attempt from a Korean-American applicant who scored a 740 for a possible better score (since I would be considered an ORM and most likely competing against Chinese-American applicants as well).

I have been getting mixed reviews because some are saying that I should focus on other aspects of my application (like professional advancement, developing extracurriculars, etc.), but I am currently working on those other aspects. Because I have more than two years until I plan to apply, I feel that I can accommodate improving those other aspects and look to improve my GMAT.

I understand that improving my GMAT from a 740 to a 750 wouldn't be that much of a huge impact, but if that's the case:

What would be a threshold score that would make a score improvement significant; 760?

Thanks in advance!


Your GMAT score will generally fluctuate 10-20 points each time you take it, so I'm not sure a 750 vs. a 740 will really move the needle if the rest of your application isn't solid. I'd say a 760+ could give you an edge you may not have otherwise had.

What was the breakdown of your GMAT? I'd keep studying and putting time in until you are scoring 760 and 770 on practice tests. Perhaps consider time with a top notch private tutor to break down the areas you can improve in the most?
