Dear folks,

Quick background : Indian female with over 8.5 years of experience

1. GMAT score : 710
2. Experience : Over 8.5 years in Morgan Stanley(Quantitative Equity Research Team - 6.5 years) & Absolutdata (Analytics & Consulting - 2 years)
3. Undergraduate college: BITS Pilani with a CGPA of 9.01
4. CFA & FRM Charterholder
5. Extensive international outlook through multiple travels - both professional and personal, however I've never really stayed abroad for a longer duration.

I'm planning to apply to IMD and Insead for Jan 2018 intake. Do you think it would be helpful to retake GMAT for improving my score further or should I live with it and focus on my applications instead? I want to move to a general management role in the long term.

Let me know if any other information would be useful for providing your feedback on my GMAT score.

Regards
Neharika

Hi Neharika,

We helped someone with this score crack these schools. I don't think you should invest more time in GMAT. You have other great stuff in your profile so move on, and start the essay writing.

A well crafted application is going to be more beneficial at this stage, so use your time wisely.

All the best.
