Gmat Retake? - For HWR Berlin [#permalink]

06 Feb 2020, 09:26

Hello,

I'm a 22-year-old, female. I'm Turkish and I have recently graduated from Istanbul Technical University, Management Engineering program with a 3.20 GPA.
Recently I got accepted in Polıtecnico di Milano for Masters in Management Engineering. But the school I really really want is HWR Berlin. Their International Marketing Program requires a GMAT min 600 and today I got into the exam and get a 600 (Q:48, V:24) in GMAT. I was wondering if I should retake the exam? Or applying with the minimum GMAT Score they want would enough get in?

Further information about my background:
-IELTS: 7.5
-Currently working as a Growth Hacker in a technology start-up based on Virtual Try-On technology
-1 year of internship in Content Marketing
-An additional 1 year as a full-time Digital Marketing Specialist in an agency.
-A graduation thesıs on Blockchain and another thesis on gender inequality.
-University activities:
-2 years in an organizing committee at business conferences.
-Editor of a yearly magazine published by my department.

This is all I can remember right now. Do you think I should retake the GMAT?
This decision is so important for me since I live in Turkey and the exchange rate for dollars is quite high so I just can say let me try again if it is not really necessary.

Hello,

I suggest you try with this score. A friend got into a German B-school with a 600, they look at your overall profile rather than just the score.
If your profile if great and the score is the only downside they might suggest you re-take as well but it is worth giving a shot I believe.

All the best!

Hi bengisuulker ..
Congratulations for getting in Polıtecnico di Milano for Masters in Management Engineering. It's a reputed school in Italy and you probably get an extended visa for job search after completing your graduation.
If you really think HWR Berlin is best for you, go for it. You are meeting its minimum requirement. Your profile looks good to me and I would suggest you to apply and put some in making a compelling story and application. As sheen22 said, if they really want you in their program and GMAT is the only one weak point, they will either give you an admit or ask you to re-take GMAT. Now, calculate how much time you have left for application. Can you re-take? If not, put time in application. It's worth trying. All the best
