LBS GMAT

Question

Hi all, 
So I've read that LBS MiM GMAT average is about 680. My question is, is it a considerable advantage if you have a higher scire, i.e. trying to get 710-720, or is it just not worth it. in terms of effort spent? I'm currently at 670 and hopefully could bump myself into 710+ region by early December, but is there a point to it?

Thank you all for the replies!

If you have better score, your chances are very high and you will get higher percentage of scholarship.

Hi, 
Often mean scores are misleading, reach out to the school and check if they lend you the median score. You'll have a better idea with that.

It's always a positive and recommended to get a higher score. It keeps you safer in case you have some faults in other areas and it does make one more likely eligible for a scholarship. At the same time, you want to focus on the aspect of the application that will give you the highest ROI for your time. For example, if you spend a month and improve your GMAT by 20 points but ignore your essays, then it is not a wise investment.

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing great. I am new to this forum and will be applying for LBS MIM 2020 intake.
I took my GMAT yesterday and scored 700(Q50 V32). Given that i belong to a pool of Indian Engineers (although my college is highly reputed) from which LBS generally receives a lot of applications, should i attempt for a higher score or 700 should be sufficient?
Briefing key points of my profile for better review: CGPA:7.94 with a minor in Finance, 6 months internship from a leading Investment Bank, co-founder of a premier college festival.

Thanks and Regards.
