I'm still considering whether or not to do a part-time or full-time MBA, but for now I'm trying to get the testing out of the way. I've taken it 3 times now (once in 2021, twice in 2024) - should I take it one more time? The scores seem to be within the average range for top 5 part-time programs but still too low for top 10 full-time programs.
Additional questions:
2) Is there any value to me submitting multiple scores (specifically, the 160 V, 158 Q and the 157 V, 162 Q scores) so admissions can see I did score high on verbal on a previous test?
3) Does admissions care about the writing score? I haven't received my writing score yet but I worry I bombed it and got a 2 or 3 (with the 157 V, 162 Q). Would that be a reason not to use this score?
GRE scores:
2021: 160 V, 158 Q
2024: 156 V, 156 Q
2024: 157 V, 162 Q
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi
You already have the answer with you: based on what you are going to do, you know if you need to retake or not. The rest is just advice that could be useful or not. It all depends on you.
As for your scores, the last one is pretty solid, but your gain depends on whether you go for a part-time or full MBA and which school you submit to.
Additional questions:

NO. you can submit only one score when you submit your application
3) Does admissions care about the writing score? I haven't received my writing score yet but I worry I bombed it and got a 2 or 3 (with the 157 V, 162 Q). Would that be a reason not to use this score?
Certain schools care, and others do not. See the class profile and see if the school lists the AWA or not. However, in an era where chatGPT messed up the writing and considering also that the GMAT will reintroduce the AWA even though in a separate test, I would conclude that the AWA counts more than ever!!!
regards.
PS: the AWA is not that difficult after all see this link https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/shorte ... -3426.html
