Hi
karishmamenon30,
Thanks for reaching out with your profile.
That is surprising you didn't score higher on your test. I would definitely try again. It sounds like you are totally capable of a higher score. And these deferred programs have really high standards in terms of the academic profile they are seeking, and GMAT is a big component of that.
Otherwise, I see many impressive things in your profile.
Good luck!
Kate

I got a score of 680 with two weeks of preparation, but in the GMAT prep, the last two scores I got were 730 and 740. Should I try again and apply for the third round, or will it be a waste of money.
