Hi Admission Consultants,
I just gave my first GMAT exam. I have scored 710 out of 800 and the score details in each section is below
1. Integrated Reasoning: 7
2. Quantitative: 49
3. Verbal: 38
I have not yet received the score for AWA.
I would say I was pretty nervous when the exam started, and was extremely anxious when I saw the first 3-4 verbal questions. 38 in verbal is a bit disappointing for me because I was consistently scoring 40 plus in my mock exams and 740 or more overall. However, unlike my mock tests, I felt very nervous for the initial 15 minutes or so during the real GMAT. Probably that hurt my verbal score a little. Surprisingly, I have never scored even 6 in the integrated reasoning section in my mocks. I almost did not prepare at all for this section. So I got lucky to score 7.
Coming back to my profile, I have worked with Johnson Controls for 7 years and I am an Instrumentation Engineer from West Bengal University of Technology (I graduated in 2011 with a GPA of 4). I have overseas experience of 4 years (1 year in the US, 3 years in Singapore, 3 months in Qatar). I am currently working as Product Owner/Business Analyst. I am currently working with Johnson Controls, in the Building Management System domain.I am planning to do the MBA from the top 20-40 US B schools, preferably with a scholarship. I need your advice on whether 710 is a good score with my profile, or if you would advice me to give the GMAT again. I would also appreciate your advice regarding the colleges I should aim for with such a score and profile.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi judhakoool!
To answer your main questions...1) 710 is a pretty good score, and you have a great showing on Quant/IR (which are typically the more important sections), plus you have an excellent GPA too. 2) But, I would still retake! The main reason is that it sounds like you can score higher with minimal extra studying, since you were scoring higher on mocks. I've seen this several times, where applicants are nervous the first time but then see a boost of 20-30 points because they are more used to the test and there is less pressure because they have a good score already. Plus, a high GMAT is a great way to boost your scholarship options.
Otherwise, your experience sounds very strong, especially with the international work experience.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
