Hi GMAT Experts,
I took the GMAT once and scored a 710 (Q49, V38) almost two years ago. I also graduated 2 years ago with a 3.6 GPA majoring in biology from Ivy undergrad (non-HYP), and have been working in a small consulting firm since. I was recently promoted so I plan on applying to T15 and M7s next cycle so that I would matriculate with 4 years of experience.
I am also an “ORM” so I am debating if I should retake the GMAT. My main concern is that I haven’t taken tests in a while so it may take considerable effort to exceed 710, let alone reach 710 again.
Should I use this year to spend time boosting my GMAT score or would my time be better spent crafting my story through volunteering and extracurriculars?
Reach: CBS, Yale SOM
Target: Dartmouth Tuck, NYU Stern
Safety: Cornell Johnson, UVA Darden
Thanks in advance.

If you're thinking of retaking, perhaps do Official-Mock 1 (even if you already did it 2 years ago) after getting a bit familiar with the material again. May help give a sense where you're currently at. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, working on your solving approach may be helpful. Had a student for example who went from a V41 to a V45 in about 10 days. Perhaps you can include working with a study buddy who is really strong on Verbal and needs help with Quant into your prep.
There's also the new "Focus Edition" version of the GMAT you could also check out.

Hi saljunas,
First off, a 710/Q49 is an oustanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement (and the more time that you have to act on that advice, the better). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
