Hi all,
Took the GMAT last week, and wondering if I should prepare to invest the time and money into applying now, or should I try to retake the GMAT to increase my chances?
Gender, Race: Male, Caucasian (US Citizen)
Age: 25
GMAT: 610 (43 q, 31v, didn't get my AWA score yet) My practice scores (MGMAT and GMATPrep) all ranged from 630-710, so my score can probably increase a bit, especially with more study on my weaknesses.
GPA: 3.5+ large public university
Work E]xp: 3 years in Corporate Finance/Accounting (1.5 years pricing & financial analysis for large engineering/defense corporation, 1.5 years - present doing finance/accounting/several other "hats" in small software company).
ECs: Beta Gamma Sigma undergrad and current, Financial Club in undergrad, some volunteer work, a couple local sports leagues post-college
Specifically, I'm wondering if I have a legitimate shot at Penn State (Smeal) and/or Maryland (Smith) MBA programs. If even these are outside chances, then I will focus on the GMAT once again. Thanks for your responses.

Hey man,
Well it depends on how you test. But I firmly believe that anyone with hard work can get a 650 or higher. don;t rush into man. I mean you are 25. Get another year experience, spend a few months studying and kick some royal butt on the GMAT. I mean who knows, maybe you'll end up with a 700 and you will explode your options?

Hi kevinftw,
I recommend that you take the GMAT again, particularly as you were scoring higher on your practice tests.
The average GMAT score at Smeal was 650 this year, so your score would be a fair amount lower than the average. There are a number of great GMAT resources online, and a business school will only consider your highest test score.

Hope this was of help.
