Appreciate the post - thanks for reaching out.

Regarding your question: "Should I retake? Or this score would get me in my target schools?"

This score should be fine for the programs you have listed. Between your overall background and your score, you should have a very good shot at these schools.

I am less confident about the likelihood and size of the scholarships you may (or may not) receive. If you want to maximize your chances at admission and money, I would recommend you retake the exam. You have a 4.0 GPA, which will help, but a GMAT score of 700+ could be an extra feather in your cap.

Is that manageable? Do you think you can get at least 20 more points, if not more, on a second try?

Thank you so much for your reply!

I am pretty sure that I could score 700+ on my second try, because I rushed verbal section for some reason.
At first I thought I should hurry and didnt focus much on the first few questions, at the end of the section I had more than 10 min left. My time management could have been better.

I scored 730 and 740 on my practice exams, I feel like I can reach that score if I practice for a month or so.

I really want to secure a merit based scholarship and I think GMAT will be a booster.

I will retake the exam and will aim for a 720+ this time. :)

Thank you so much!!

That sounds very promising!

I always recommend that my clients plant to take the exam at least twice for examples just like the one you described. Sometimes a section is "off" and having a second go at it can be all the difference.

Doing better on the GMAT will absolutely increase your chances for admission and scholarship.

Again, please reach out if you need any of our help moving forward. Good luck!
