Thank you so much re4Bschool11, bb (I'm star-struck!), Jon, Melody, and Dozie for your kind advices!
I really appreciate that you took the time to review and discuss with me.
It seems like you guys all agree that admission wise it is not the best use of time to re-take GMAT at this moment.
From scholarship perspective - do you have a view whether higher GMAT score could help?
M7s are not necessarily known for generous scholarships, but (except schools that don't do merit based scholarship) would scoring higher in GMAT move the needle in any way?
Thank you!!
Nope!
Not really. Meaning, yeah sure if it were effortless and guaranteed a higher GMAT is always good. But your profile will be considered holistically for scholarships as for admission. So it's not just the GMAT, and if you have a 770 you won't necessarily get better offers or money.
So once again - take the time NOW to start working on all that other stuff, because it's more important from here on in. Your GMAT is good (well, actually great!)
Best,
Jon
