Hi,
I'm female with an IT background. I have about 6 years of work experience and have been a SW lead for 3 years. I have a bachelors and masters in Computer Science.
GMAT score - 1st attempt 600 (Quants 47/ Verbal 28)
2nd attempt 640 (quants 40/verbal 38)
On the 2nd attempt, I could have done much better on the quants section, but I wasted a lot of time on the first few questions and so had to rush through the rest.
School I want to apply to -
1. UT Austin
Do you think my GMAT score is good enough for UT Austin? The 2nd math score worries me. What do you think my chances are of getting into UT Austin?
Thanks!!

Hi ice789,
It's hard to evaluated your overall chances without knowing more about your candidacy, but I would recommend that you take another shot at the GMAT. Think about it this way: Your GMAT score is one of the pieces of your application that you can still control (along with your essays and, to a minor extent, your letters of recommendation). Why not take a shot at improving it? I'd hate for you to apply to McCombs with a 640, not get in, and then be left wondering if you should have tried to take the GMAT again.
Of course, there's no guarantee that your score will go up (unless you go with Veritas Prep for your GMAT preparation... we have a score guarantee
). But, even if your score goes down, admissions officers truly do look at your highest score, so it's almost all upside!
