bb thank you so much for your insight! a major issue for me is timeline as i'm aiming for round 2 applications, therefore i realistically only have until the end of this month to retake it really as most of my applications are due january 3rd. do you think its worth giving it another shot (online as it wont be 16 days since i've last taken it to retake it in person by the end of the month) to see if i do score higher, as i had scored a 700 and 730 on my previous mocks, or do you think since i have to rewrite it so soon it wont be worth it?

thank you again!!

Hi!! Please review my profile, in particular I'm looking for advice on whether i should resit the GMAT

Demographic: Canadian, Undergraduate degree in Finance and economics, female age 22. I just graduated from my undergraduate studies last month.
Education: Bachelor's in economics and finance from McGill University, GPA 3.77/4.0
GMAT: 680
Workex: I have done two previous internships in wealth management as well as real estate investments at a prominent bank and pension fund.
Int'l exposure: Prior to moving to canada i used to live in the middle east and have extensive exposure travelling, have done multiple study programs abroad as well
Extra Currics: Have been involved in federal youth political organizations, have my own podcast, was the director of operations at a non profit financial literacy club throughout mcgill, was a member of the investment club at mcgill.

IMPORTANT: please keep in mind i am applying for masters in finance programs and NOT MBA programs, therefore I'm looking for specific advice as to whether my GMAT, given my profile; will be good for the masters in finance programs at schools including LBS, HEC, Yale, Columbia and Booth. thank you!!

Hey hihi_1220,

Your GPA of 3.77 in Finance and Economics from McGill University is a strong asset. Coupled with your GMAT score of 680, your academic qualifications are solid. While a higher GMAT score could be beneficial, your current score, in conjunction with your strong GPA, positions you competitively for Masters in Finance programs.

Your internships in wealth management and real estate investments provide relevant industry experience. Additionally, your international background, including living in the Middle East and engaging in study programs abroad, offers a unique perspective that can enrich your contributions to the program and distinguish your application.

Your involvement in political youth organizations, a financial literacy club, an investment club, and hosting a podcast showcases leadership, initiative, and a breadth of interests. These activities reflect a well-rounded profile, enhancing your appeal to admissions committees.

Given your strong overall profile, your current GMAT score may suffice for the programs you are targeting. Emphasize your diverse professional experiences, international perspective, and dynamic extracurriculars in your application to showcase your unique strengths.

Try focusing on applying in round 2 and working on highlighting your passion for finance.

For more personalized advice or application assistance, feel free to reach out on dm or schedule a strategy session for a more tailored approach.
