Hello Folks,
Recently, I gave the GMAT FE (1st ever attempt) purely by self-study for about 5 months.
Total Score - 715 (Q88/V85/DI83). The official ESR is yet to come.
I just wanted to get your opinion on whether this would be considered a good enough score for M7 or do I need to retake the exam(this time I am thinking of taking coaching for about a month) considering I fall into a relatively larger competitive pool of Indian, IT, Male. I know the profile plays a lot more role but still wanted to confirm only from the GMAT score point of view.
Seeking your guidance on how I should move forward with the application process considering I am planning to apply to the schools next year. Currently, I have work experience of about 2 years and am working for a Fortune 500 company.
Thanks in advance for all the feedback.

If you were scoring consistently higher than 715 in your mocks, a re-attempt would not be a bad idea Rishabh.

@RishabBhasin - Congratulations on your excellent GMAT score of 715! This is a very impressive result, especially for your first attempt and through self-study.
To address your concerns:
GMAT Score for M7 Schools:
The median GMAT score for M7 (top seven) business schools is around 685. Your score of 715 is well above this median, which puts you in a strong position. While a higher score is always better, your current score is more than good enough for both getting an admit and potentially securing a scholarship at M7 schools.
Retaking the GMAT:
Given your score of 715, there's no pressing need to retake the exam. Your time and energy would be better spent focusing on other aspects of your application.
Competitive Applicant Pool:
While you're correct that you're in a competitive demographic (Indian, IT, Male), your current GMAT score is enough to make you stand out
Your 2 years of experience at a Fortune 500 company is a good start. Many top MBA programs prefer candidates with 3-5 years of experience, so the additional time before applying could strengthen your profile further.

Hi RishabhBhasin,
What would help with this decision is to see what you were scoring on your official MBA.com practice exams. Can you provide us with your score breakdowns from those practice tests?
