At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hello,
I have recently given the GMAT for the third time, but unfortunately I was unable to cross the 700 barrier. Below are my scores of all my GMAT attempts
GMAT1 - 620 Q46 V30 IR6 AWA4 , Nov 2012
GMAT2 - 650 Q49 V28 IR6 AWA5 , Apr 2014
GMAT3 - 680 Q50 V31 IR8 , Jul 2014
What frustrates me is that I was scoring consistently well in my practice tests. I have given MGMAT, KAPLAN practice tests, which I had also given during my previous 2 attempts. I scored an average 720 in the 4 KAPLAN tests, and and average of 680 in MGMAT. But since I had given these tests in my previous attempts also, for the third time I enrolled in Veritas Prep. I scored an average of 720 in the Veritas as well, hence I was confident that the third time would be a charm and I will be able to score 720.
But the score line does not show so
, which makes me very sad. As can be seen my nemesis is Verbal. For my third attempt I gave a month's time to improve on my verbal (majority time given to SC). But i guess that strategy did not work on the final day. There is no way for me to analyze which section in Verbal I am bad at.
I am targeting the top 20 B-schools such as Chicago, Ross, Yale etc and I know that my below average score will be a significant disadvantage while applying in such schools.
I am an Indian with a work ex of 6yrs in the top IT Company in India. I have 3 years of onsite experience and have handled multiple large scale projects. My GPA in UnderGrad was 3.9/4.0.
My question is should I consider giving the GMAT one final time or should I start working on my applications and essays and apply for the same colleges as mentioned above.
Thanks

I'm gonna be honest with you, since you are targeting top 20 , I really think you should retake and try with min 710+ with your experience.
However, if you don't want to , best bet is to target good European schools,where there is more value for yur experience and less worry about our Indian IT male pool. Good luck

Hi smw678,
Whether to retake the GMAT or no is a fairly common question and most people wonder about it. I think you will find this article on Who, Why, and When should take the GMAT? to be useful in getting the answer.
