We are sorry you have gone through this saga.
Looking ahead, the first step is retake the exam(s). It will be a lot easier to assess school options once you get the results back. You can certainly form a preliminary list, but it is subject to change based on that score.
I assume you are applying for 2025 matriculation? If so, you have time.
Admissionado I would also like to know if schools prefer any particular exam score.
Hey,
apurvag95Thank you for your post!
Considering your uncertainty about the GRE vocabulary section and your quantitative strength, the choice between retaking the GMAT or taking the GRE depends on a few factors. While your strong quant scores are an asset, improving your verbal scores is crucial for a balanced profile.
Given your quant strength and concern over GRE vocabulary, focusing on the GMAT might be more beneficial. The GMAT's verbal section, while challenging, does not rely as heavily on vocabulary as the GRE's. Improving your verbal score on the GMAT through targeted practice or a structured prep course can significantly improve your overall score.
In the realm of MBA programs, the average GMAT scores for top-ranked schools display a broad spectrum but highlight the competitive nature of admissions. For instance,
Kellogg stands out with
an average GMAT score of 731, closely followed by institutions such as
MIT Sloan and
Tuck School of Business, with scores of
730 and
726, respectively. Schools like
IESE present a unique range for the GMAT scores of admitted students,
spanning from 580 to 750, which suggests wider acceptance criteria that might take into account diverse aspects of an applicant's profile beyond standardized test scores. Schools like the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management and the
Technical University of Munich – TUM School of Management
exhibit relatively lower average GMAT scores of 610 and 600, indicating a potentially broader admissions policy or a focus on criteria other than the GMAT. To learn more about the
GMAT Average for top Business schools, you can take reference from the blog.
Additionally, your investment banking background is a strong professional credential. Emphasizing your achievements in this role, alongside a solid GMAT score improvement, will strengthen your application. To further enhance your profile, consider leadership roles in extracurricular activities or volunteer work, especially those that demonstrate impact, leadership, and teamwork.
Sorry for the long answer; I hope this helps!
Cheers!
