Overly Stressed about GMAT?

Question

Currently have a GMAT score of 650 Q:46 and V:35. How do you all think UVA will react to that score? Getting a little stressed because I can't seem to move the needle any higher.

Any Insights about this score with Duke-Fuqua/UNC Flagler would be great too.

Trying to take it at least one more time to grab a few extra points.

Thanks!

barn16  - You must provide more details on your overall profile in order for our experts to evaluate your profile. You have chosen some competitive programs and must, therefore, remember that the GMAT score does play an important factor. However, the GMAT score is quite subjective. For instance, an army officer who was posted in the Gulf and scoring a 650 on the GMAT has a much bigger chance than an Indian IT male with a 730+ score. Hence, you much provide your complete profile.

Barn16,

It'd be better assessment if you provide more details of your profile. Spiking your score would be best idea which can open doors of other better b schools. So,all the best for next shot.

Hi, both of the schools have a high GMAT average of 700. However, we cant judge your profile without full details.

Hi  barn16 ! This is Kate from mbaMission. Your score is below Darden's average so it will draw some concern. Same for Fuqua, and a bit less so for Kenan-Flagler but still could be an issue there. That said, I have had prior clients accepted to those programs with a similar score. But as the other posters mentioned, your GMAT score is just one component of your application. It also depends on when you're applying -- if you're applying now in Round 3, that adds extra difficulty, but if you could wait and apply in the early round, that could help slightly. If you don't want to share your full profile details here, feel free to PM me or sign up for a free phone consultation with someone on our team (link below in my signature).

One last thought - have you considered giving GRE a shot? Again, depends on how much time you have til you apply, but some find one test suits them better.

Good luck!
Kate
