Hi

I gave the gmat yesterday (first attempt) and got a score of 710 (q-50 V- 36) .I was expecting a score in the range of 700-730. I have a doubt.Is this score good?

and where does this score stands in term of applications ? i have a cpi of 3.4.

Should i go for gmat again or should i start applt=ying for the colleges with this score...

I want to apply in Masters in business analytics in MIT sloan and schulich toronto .

I also want to apply for mba in mit sloan and Insead...i guess HBS would not an option at this score.

Thanks in advance for the help guys :)

Hi cmonBouy,

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 probably not necessary. Since you're planning to apply to some competitive Schools, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

Anything above 700 is a good score. After this, your essays will make all the difference. I suggest you to get a free profile evaluation done by our experts here:

Hi cmonBouy,

710 is a great score -- just keep in context your overall application profile. You may not be the candidate who stands out with a 710+ score, but if you feel confident you can stand out in another way -- your background, your story, your career path -- then this should be a good-enough score for the target schools you want. If you have a clear story/path/reason for business school and can differentiate yourself based on your work experience, then you got a lot going for you.

Remember, optimize for your overall application profile - not just one local maxima.
