Hello folks
Right after the exam, I received an overall score of 680 (Q49, V33, IR7, no writing assessment score yet). Two questions mentioned below, are giving me sleepless nights. I would very much appreciate to have your feedback and comments.
1. I am planning to apply for INSEAD MBA and MIT SDM. Do these schools factor in individual scores especially the IR score?
2. I am planning NOT TO RETAKE the test. But if any of you differ, your comments/ thoughts would be nice to hear and analyze!
FYI, I am from India and I have ~2 years work-ex each (overall 4 years) in computer hardware industry and financial services sector. My undergrad (B Tech) GPA ~3.64 and post-grad (business mgmt) GPA is ~2.91. My GMAT practice tests were 700 each.
Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks !
I completely agree with these other guys.
You have below average years of work experience in the typical fields, are Indian, and have decent undergrad/poor grad gpa. None of this is helping your case unless you have an unbelievable resume/story.
You are going to need to score much higher on the gmat to have a good chance at those schools. To answer the IR question, it won't make any difference. Q and V are the major components, AWA may matter some if you are international/studied internationally.
