I just took my GMAT and received a 690. Previously, I was a professional athlete and then worked full-time while I put myself through undergrad (3.5 GPA, BA in Econ). I’ve been working for the past 4 years in investment banking at a BB firm. I’m concerned that my score is not sufficient enough for Wharton. Any thoughts on whether I should take it again would be appreciated. I was able to raise my score to 690 from 610 the second time
I took it but no sure how feasible an additional 30-40 points would be. Thanks!
Wharton unfortunately seems to care about the GMAT the most of maybe any of the top tier programs. I've personally heard 700 is a really important threshold, so I'd encourage trying to break through. Have you looked at
Magoosh and their improvement guarantee?
That said, it's not impossible that you could get through. The differentiated background could lend to a top tier story for essays. What are you thinking post-school?
