Hi All,
I got a 740 (Q48 V42) in August for my 3rd attempt (past. 2x 680, one test center & one online). I applied to some M7s in R1 and am receiving many rejections. I need help in deciding should I retake the GMAT current edition before it expires in Jan. I am concerned that my Quant score is too low (especially for the Indian cohort)
Some more details about my profile to give a full picture:
Work-ex: currently 2 years
Industry: Venture Capital for the last 1 year. Startups before that.
Undergrad: Liberal Arts (Anthropology) CGPA: 3.45
Careers Plans: Impact Investing/VC.
In my past attempts I did receive a Q49. This time, I didn't prepare enough for quant and spent way too long on a few questions which ruined the section for me.

If you are confident you can score better and have the flexibility to retake, the question may be: why not? Ultimately, you have a 740 already "in the bag". Consider working on your solving approach if you feel your fundamentals are solid. May boost your score a bit. Had a student who went from a V41 to a V45 in about 10 days for example. Perhaps include working with a study buddy who is really strong in areas you're not (i.e. CR). There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you could check out/sign up to.

Hi. Your quant score does not matter. Your total score does.
I would say 740 is on the lower side of the competitive pool for M7. Unfortunately the average is 760.
Also having only 2 1/2 of three years of work experience at matriculation is also on the lower side. Not the business schools want old people or anything like that but they want to certain level of leadership and maturity and the accomplishments that you could bring to The recruiting process so they may have seen your current level of work experiences needing a bit more seasoning.
The boundary application plans… if you’re thinking about M1, you will definitely need a higher score. This can be GMAT classic or GMAT focus. Can also be GRE if you can muster a high score. Depending if you receive any interview invitations or not that should also be a message about how your profile looks for a five minute review that’s probably as much time as they spend for the interview selection process and you did not get any invites, it means it was easy enough for them to put you into the ding pile as opposed to the maybe or yes, so there was definitely some thing that they felt was lacking
