Hi -
I've been wondering whether I should re-do my GMAT score for a while now. Pretty much every consultant I've spoken to has said that it would be worth doing, but i just wanted to post here and get a pulse on what people think:
Profile:
Professional Experience:
GMAT:
Post MBA objectives:
Target schools:
Hope this is clear. I would be retaking to get the GMAT closer to 750.
Any hints or tips would be great.
Thanks!
I've been wondering whether I should re-do my GMAT score for a while now. Pretty much every consultant I've spoken to has said that it would be worth doing, but i just wanted to post here and get a pulse on what people think:
Profile:
- 26 year old male
White
Top 10% of the class at a Top 5 international university (for Political Science)
Professional Experience:
- 3.5 years at Big 4 consulting. First on the grad scheme (as a Level 1), and then in the strategy team as a Level 2
1 year at a small (in headcount) European strategy boutique as a Level 3
Focussed on transport / mobility strategy (cars, trains etc.)
Good experience with office leadership (mentoring, internal roles, interviewing candidates etc.)
GMAT:
- 730 overall
49 Q
40 V
6 IR
6 AWA
Post MBA objectives:
- Move into infrastructure / transport finance in the short term (in NY or Chicago)
Start my own advisory firm in the medium / long term. Focussed on the same areas as above
Target schools:
- Reach: H / S / W
Core: Booth, MIT, CBS, LBS, Kellogg
Hope this is clear. I would be retaking to get the GMAT closer to 750.
Any hints or tips would be great.
Thanks!

A second attempt normally can improve GMAT score by +20-30 go ahead and attempt and it will improve your overall chance of selection.

just another consultant here to tell you yes I think this would be a good idea. I mean given that the average GMAT is 740 at Stanford now and you are kind of part of an over-represented group as a white male it probably would be wise to put yourself in better steed. That said it's not a deal-breaker and I don't think you should commit hari-kari if you can't increase your score.
If you have the time and the ability to do this *without sacrificing other elements of your applications* then do so.
But set a hard stop at like at the end of May because at that point your applications have to take full priority. If you work 80hrs/wk even before then.
It's just really really important not to keep trying for that Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory ticket called the GMAT when you are faced with a huge opportunity to differentiate yourself in your application.
It does require looking at your whole profile to really answer this question, if you don't have any community leadership experience than that really might be like a bigger priority for you.
No adcom really pounds the table for a GMAT score but they do for someone that they see making a difference in the world and doing an Innovative job leading a good cause..
your score is sufficient but probably not going to win the game at this point for the schools. So evaluate strategically the best use of your time.
