Hi Hjort,
I am new to this forum and would appreciate your help. I recently took the GMAT and did not do well, I got 590. I am interested in applying to UT Austin, this will be the only school I will be applying.
I actually prepared well for the GMAT and my goal was to get about 720. I have 5 years of work exp. and I also have a Bachelors and Masters in Chemical Engg. Now I am confused if I should retake the GMAT. I am pretty confident that I will get a better score than this. I actually prepared well for the test, I got very busy at work and could not concentrate towards the end.
As the GMAT score will be the only weak aspect of my application, I am tempted to apply with this score. I have a good undergrad and masters GPA and I will work hard on other areas of my application. Please let me know what you think about me retaking the GMAT. I don't want to redo it unless I really have to do it.
Thanks for your help.

Since you feel that you can do better, you should retake. GMAT is something that you can work to your advantage. Although 590 is not too bad a score, neither is it competitive. I think UT's average GMAT is 670.
It is better to clear it now than to regret in future whether your GMAT score has made a difference in the outcome.
My 2 cents' worth. All the best.

Hi hjort,
Firstly i would like to thank you for all the great advice you give candidates like me. I took the gmat today and scored 640. I currently have 3.5 yrs work experience - 3 years at AOL, in the call center. I was a team leader for the last year and a half. I turned entrepreneur in Jan of 05 and joined my company full time (a placement consultancy firm) in August. My performance in my Engineering (telecommunications) is not that great. (got 63%)
the reason i have given such a detailed profile is because i want to know if my score is good enough to get me through at UNC, chapel hill, Texas A&M U or Jones, Texas. I am not certain if retaking the test will guarantee a higher score.
If you dont think that score is good enough, are there other unis you can direct me to?
Do let me know...
