Hello experts,
I am working as a Informatics analyst with a total work experience of 6 years ( 4 years of work plus 2 years of MS in Bioinformatics). I recently made my second attempt in GMAT after 2 months of preparation ( scored very low in first attempt). My target school is Georgetown - McDonough . I am not sure whether I should go ahead with GMAT score of 650 or go for third attempt? It will be great if you can evaluate my profile and suggest.

I am aiming for the first round of applications for next fall and if higher score is required then I need to get started with GMAT preparation again. Any input would be great! Thanks
