Hello,
I have taken the GMAT 4 times
November 2014: 690 Q48/V37
January 2015: 710 Q49/V38
July 2015: 710 Q49/V38
August 2015: 720 Q47/V41
I am applying to HBS, Wharton, Columbia, Booth, MIT, and Tuck.
How will schools view my GMAT performance? Is it holistic in that they will use 720 as my score but also take note that I have two Q49s and not be concerned with my 720's Q47? Or should I retake to try to score both higher and with a more evenly weighted score?
I am hoping schools will see that I have a 720 and not have quant concerns because of higher quant scores in previous tests. Am I better served to spend the rest of my time before R1 due dates working on my essays?
Thanks!
Alan

Hi Alan,
Yes with a 720 and your history I would not re-take again, focus on the essays and other components! You are very close to the average at these schools and you've made several attempts. On the apps you will fill in what score date etc you want to 'count', and if you really feel concerned and want to emphasize the higher quant score from the past you can always mention it in the optional essay portion. Congrats and good luck on the essays!
