Hi,

I just took the GMAT and received a 700 (47Q 38V). Is this a good enough score for business school? I am a current senior in undergrad, looking to apply to business school before pursuing medical school through a combined BA/MD program with guaranteed acceptance. I am looking to apply to schools such as Yale, Kellogg, Mendoza, Booth, and similarly ranked schools. Let me know please!

I think 700 score is perfectly fine with good cgpa for MBA.
Better if you share your profile.

Hi there grishkam, Your current score is strong in terms of demonstrating you're able to handle the MBA curriculum. It's a well balanced score too between Quant / Verbal. But if you're going to aim for competitive programs like Kellogg & Booth especially, it would be best to apply with a score closer to their averages (which are around 730 right now). Now you do have a high GPA, so that helps, but I think if you have time, I would give the test one more shot to see if you can get even 10-20 more points overall.

Thank you for your response. I did want to follow-up by asking whether it would significantly hinder me to be missing those extra 10-20 points given my GPA is higher than the averages for both schools and I am an Anthropology/Pre-med major in undergrad. Let me know please!

Happy to help. It's hard to say whether it will hinder you, but a higher score is always better. If it were me, I would give the test one more shot to make sure you're maximizing that part of your application.
