Hi All,
I recently completed my first try of GMAT. I think I did fairly well (760 Q51 V41), but I would like to know if I should retake (Sorry if it is stupid). I'm only asking this question because I had already registered and paid for the second test before I took my first test. I guess I was prepared to not do well, and all the test locations near me were filling up so I panicked a bit and registered for multiple tests.
I have been studying for about a month. I used the official GMAT study guide and Manhattan Prep. I've done a number of Manhattan practice tests, getting between 720 and 740 on them. I also scored 770 and 780 on the two free practice tests on the mba website. Based on my experience, I found the practice tests on the mba website to be more representative of the real GMAT. Manhattan was great for learning about time management though.
I'm only planning on applying to top schools in the US (if that matters). Should I stay with 760 on one try, or should I try it again and maybe get something slightly higher? I think I could do better than 41 verbal, but there is also always the risk of getting a worse score. Would 770 or 780 be a bigger wow factor for admissions at S/H?
Thanks!
ps. Let me know if you have any questions about GMAT that I may be able to help.

Hi SorryToBeThatGuy,
First off, a 760/Q51 is an outstanding score - and you can comfortably apply to ANY Business Schools that interest you (as well as potentially apply for Scholarships, if that's something that interests you). As such, a retest is NOT necessary. At this point, you might find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and application plans. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I'm indeed leaning towards canceling my second test.
I'm very interested in scholarships, because at this stage in my career, the opportunity cost of not working and paying for school is about half a million dollars for two years. A scholarship would make it a much easier decision. What are some good scholarships that students usually go for? I probably won't qualify for much of the financial need based ones.
