Dear All,
I appeared for my GMAT today, my 2nd attempt, and got a 710 Q50, V35. My IR score is 6. My previous score was 660 Q48 V33 with IR5. So in all I had an improvement of 50 points in 2 months. (I appeared for my 1st attempt exactly 2 months back on 23rd Sep). I'm trying to be a little enthusiastic about the improvement I made in my score but I, obviously, feel that I could have done much better. Maybe a 730 or 740. I want to know whether 710 is a competitive score for applying to top 50 universities. Other elements of my profile are good. I'm an engineer with a score of first division and distinction in my graduation. My work ex is fine I guess. I started as a GET and cos of my performance and requirement of the company I escalated to managerial position in 2.25 years. I'm still working full time and by the time I join a B school next fall I will have completed 3 years of full time work ex. My company is also well reputed. I will be able to manage LORs from international clients- Middle East and Europe. So do I bother myself with another attempt or go ahead with my applications?

Great job with the improvement in 2 months! In my opinion you have a stellar score for any top 50 school. You've checked the +700 box and proven to schools that you can handle the academic rigor given your Q50. Also GMAC says standard deviation is 30 points. If you're applying to H/W/S though then you may want to consider the retake since those schools have a much higher average score. But anywhere outside of top 5 schools I think you're fine. you should focus on the rest of your app now. Just my 2 cents.

Hi sudhirgupta93,
First off, a 710/Q50 is an outstanding score (it's right around the 90th percentile overall), so you can apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is likely not necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
