Scored a 720 - (Q50/V38) [#permalink] New post   17 Jun 2019, 08:30
Hi All,

I am an Indian Applicant - Female/Engineer from a National Institute of Technology/PGDM from the 4th best b school in India/ currently working as a consultant with a fortune 100 company. I gave GMAT after approx a month’s serious preparation and needless to say I was disappointed with my score, considering that I belong to the overrepresented pool. Anyways, my practice scores were pretty encouraging - 750/760/770/740 ( a day before the exam). The Quant was mostly in the 49-50 range and the verbal in 40-44 range.

I am planning to apply to M7 and INSEAD. And I really needed to understand if I should go for a retake as I really want to apply in Round 1.

I really appreciate your help! Thank you

Though i consider you have very good score as well as profile, but there isn't any loss in writing GMAT again with 1-2 months of more prep.
Btw can you share your motivation behind MBA after PGDM?

Hi
First of all, congrats on a good score. I consider 720 as a good score and retest may not be required.
As you have already PGDM from one of the best bschool in India, I think you already have a good profile and should be ready for applications.
For detailed info, you can post in the Ask admission Consultants forum of Gmatclub.

Thank you so much for your response! My reason to do a MBA post PGDM is out of various factors including professional and personal both.

Thank you for the input on admission consultant forum. I think that would be the right way to do it. I really wished 720 was a good enough score but I have received a lot of reviews stating otherwise :(

I'd take the exam again if I were you, as there really is no downside (apart from the additional $250): minimum prep, and you always have the option to cancel your score.

720 may be good enough, but with practice test (GMATPrep?) scores like 750, 760, and 770, you are almost certainly capable of a better score on the actual GMAT.

Hi,

Thank you for responding. Yes, the scores were from GMAT prep with full simulation along with the IR. I am waiting for my ESR so I can start the prep again. I am planning to apply to M7 schools so I guess a higher GMAT would be a good thing.

Don't worry, 720 is indeed very good score as per your profile. What matter now is how good your profile actually is as compared to other good profiles. But still, you won't loose anything if you write it again. And if you're at 720 already, you can take it to 740 in a month or two, ie before application deadlines. Give it a try. At least one month.

All the best.

Hi amishibharti,

720 is a very nice GMAT score. That said, if you think you can improve your verbal score, and thus your overall score, it would not hurt to give the GMAT another shot. That said, before making any final decisions regarding your GMAT, you may want to reach out to one of the many admissions consultants here on GMAT Club.

Good luck!
