Let's take these questions in a more natural order:



Not at all. The most recent intake had an 80% range of 606-740 with an average of 677. About 30-40% of your classmates would have had your score or lower.



Possibly. As could the other areas of your app. A below school average GMAT score should be accompanied by as strong as possible transcripts, essays, extras, recommendations and interview.



If you feel you could do significantly better then certainly. The good news for you is that you have plenty of time to study and retake without sacrificing time on your essays so you're in a good spot here man.

Good luck to you.

Hey guys,

looking for some input on my GMAT score and profile. Emory is my top target.

I just took the GMAT for the first time and got a 660 (Q42, V38). I did not have the best day I could have, but I had a realistic max goal of 670 given my preparation and CATs. Quant was weaker than I know I can get, but not by nuch.

I'd appreciate any input, as open ended as it could be. Thanks

I think GMAT score makes more difference for international applicants. Your score is above average and I believe you do not need to retake the exam. If you have time to practice and motivation for a higher score, then why not. But the application process is tiring especially if you are working and planning to apply several schools. I would suggest that do not delay it if you decide to retake.

Good luck!

Any waitlisted applicant around?
When will we start to hear something new from the adcom?

The final deposit deadline was yesterday, May 8th. It would seem that the admissions committee should have an idea of how the overall class is shaping up. I'm hoping that me and my fellow wait listed applicants will begin to start hearing their decisions very shortly. Good luck everyone!

Do you think so? In the feedback e-mail they told me that they will be considering the waitlisted applicants(international) until the end of May. Therefore we may wait until the end of the month. Anyway the stressful waiting is coming to an end. Please post here with the good news!
