Hi,
I took my first GMAT two and a half years ago and scored a 570. This summer, I retook the test and scored a 620.
In both the cases, I did not seek any professional help. I was wondering would it be a good idea to take a third attempt given that most of the schools will be opening their applications soon and I plan to start a B-school in fall 2016?
I have worked with a leading MNC in electrical industry (1.5 year), a public policy think tank (3.5 years) in India and have also held leadership position for a leading NGO in India. I am permanent resident of US and would only be applying in US.
I am planning to apply to top 15 program with focus on social enterprise and consulting .
Do you guys think a third attempt would make sense and not be viewed as negative on the application?
Would really appreciate a feedback.
Thanks.

Hi vatstarun,
Since Business Schools don't care if you retake the GMAT, taking the Test for a third time would not be a problem.
You're talking in general terms right now, so I would suggest that you research the specific Schools that fit what you're looking for. In that way, you can learn more about application deadlines, class profiles, average GMAT scores, costs, etc. With that information, you'll be better able to decide whether to retake the GMAT or not.
In general though, if you're planning to apply to only Top-Tier programs, the average GMAT scores for those Schools are likely going to be much higher than your recent GMAT score. As such, you're probably going to need to retake the GMAT. To make the most out of your available study time, you might want to consider investing in a GMAT Course of some type.
