Today I received my Gmat online score, and to be honest it is not the score I hoped for.

I received a 720 with Q50 V39.

I felt Quant went not that well, but I am satisfied with the result, I guessed a lot of questions. I felt Verbal was ok even if I would have hoped for something better, given my GMAT prep results

Given that I am aiming for M7, should I retake the GMAT? I feel I could score 760 on a good day. would it make any difference or should I focus on other parts of my application?

My last Gmat prep scores:
Gmat prep (Retake): 720 (Q49 V39) -25 Oct 2020
Gmat prep(Retake): 730 (Q49 V41) -1 Nov 2020
Mgmat:660 (Q43 V33) 15 - Nov
Mgmat:700 (Q46 V40) 19 - Dic

Gmat prep (Retake):760 (Q50 V42) - 16 Jan 2021
Gmat prep (Retake):700 (Q49 V36) - 2o Feb 2021 (Changed order to Q then V because on the Online Gmat the order will be the same)
Gmat prep:760 (Q49 V44)

Gmat Club Quant:49,47,46, 48,49,50,49,51
Gmat Club Verbal: 40,27,39


Whether I will retake it or not, I wanted to express my gratitude to this incredible Forum and all the wonderful people in it, you all helped me a lot.

Your score is strong and well balanced.

If you're confident you can do better, however, and time, money, and motivation aren't a problem per se, I guess the question may become "why not give it again". There are two online attempts after all.

All the best with whatever you decide and gratz on the 720.

Thank you for your reply. money and motivation are not a problem per se, but time is.

I would like to understand what difference does it make to have a 760 or a 720 in applying for M7, is it really crucial or not?

Is it worth the effort?

Hi Gansitomarinera,

First off, a 720/Q50 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is not necessary. Since you're interested in some highly-competitive Schools, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Thank you a lot Scott. By the way, TTP was so helpful in Quant and in SC as well.

I'll do that and depending on their assessment of my profile I will decide. Thanks a lot for your response.
