I've taken my GMAT and wondering if I should start try the GMAT one more time, or actually start applying.
Looking at this forum and other sources, GMAT scores seem to have a wide range, like 640 - 740. Is work experience much more critical for part time, as we will all be working professionals, and thus harder to determine? I've found an interesting comment where ethnicity etc. comes as an important factor as well.
I could give it another go on the GMAT to reach 710-730, but wanted to have some insights whether I should move on to perfecting my story, essays, etc. instead at this point.
I think i will be emphasizing global, investor/client facing experience, quant skills, given my work experience.
- Ethnicity: East Asia, Male
- GMAT: 690 (Q47 V38)
- GPA: 3.2, poli-sci, top 5 school in my home country, but doubt the name is actually known in the US
- Work: 4 years experience in portfolio management (+ similar work for 3 years prior) in a US firm. Managing global portfolio (e.g. Calpers)
Recently transferred from my home country's office (Osaka => IL)
- CFA Level I Passed (not a strong point, but make my chances incrementally better?)
