Hi everyone,
I took the GMAT today and I am excited to report that I got a 710 (Q41, V46). (Percentiles: 48, 99).
While I am very thankful to break the 700-GMAT barrier, I do feel a little disappointed with my quant score. My highest quant score in practice CATs was a 46 (740 overall), so I hoped to do a little bit better. I am contemplating the idea of re-taking the exam, but I also would like to be done with studying and move onto the application process! Ultimately, my decision to retake comes down to, would the programs I'm interested deny me at a 710, but accept me at, say, best case scenario, a 740 GMAT score? The schools I am targeting are McCombs, Keenan-Flagler, Fuqua, and maybe a couple others in that range. Average GMAT's are roughly 690-700.
A little bit more about myself:
Work experience: 3 years. Financial analyst in the tech industry. I was recently given the additional responsibility of supporting the corporate development team, conducting M&A valuations.
I've lead a group of 15+ coworkers doing volunteer events in the community. Also started an employee group at my company to improve engagement among recent campus hires.
College: 3.95 GPA, Econ Major at a state school in California.
Should I look to retake the GMAT in order to get a higher score to bolster my application? Or is a 710 with my profile enough to begin applying to the schools I'm interested in?
Thank you so much for any input,
Emmit

Thanks for sharing your profile. Given your already stellar GMAT score that fits into the range at these schools along with your strong profile I think you are fine on the GMAT and start focusing on other areas of the application process.
Hope this helps!

Hi Emmit,
You are in line for the schools that you've mentioned. Especially considering the fact that you have a degree in economics, and a job as a financial analyst. I'm assuming these are fairly math heavy
Now, I'm guessing you have a fair number of accomplishments at work, and can bring these out in your essays. This is the caveat to my earlier statement.
Regards,
Karthik
