Hello ,
I need an honest opinion on whether I should take the GMAT again.
Details :
GMAT : 710
Quant : 49
Verbal :39
IR :4 ( VERY LOW I KNOW)
AWA : 5.5
BACKGROUND :
BBA
MSU VADODARA - well reputed university
GPA : 6.1 /10
PGD in advertising and Marketing Communications from XIC Mumbai .
XIC ranks second in media communication in India .
Grade : B+
Work experience
2.5 years
1- self employed consultant
1.5 year - brand strategist at a national experimental agency
Worked on brands like HUL , SAP , SIEMENS , MONDELEZ, ORIFLAME and the likes of such.
*Not from conventional Indian background*
Indian female - media background
Age : 25
Post MBA goals : brand management / marketing - product management
If I take GMAT again , I would like to score somewhere near 750.
I realize that I lackwork experience and have decent EC ( NOT MENTIONED ) but how much of a difference would adding 40 more points make in this case ?
If I end up in the same colleges with a 750 due to lack of work ex then attempting GMAT again wont make sense.
So I need a review for the same.

Hi
In my opinion, it depends on the colleges you are targeting. Take a look at the average Gmat score of the colleges and the minimum experience required. If you are above that, then you can go for applying else give another shot at the Gmat.

Hi,
Given your profile a higher GMAT may add value, however it might not be essential if it is well within the acceptable range of your target schools. What is more important is the coherence of the application and proper presentation of the profile. There are innumerable cases where an applicant with a high GMAT has been rejected due to a non cohesive application. Take care of that as much as the GMAT.
