Hi
drewjr28,
Congratulations on a great GMAT score! As it has been mentioned by others on this thread, your score is competitive for the M7 schools you are targeting. Your undergraduate GPA speaks highly of your intellectual capabilities, which is an important component of these institutions' decision process. However, don't understimulate the importance of the remainder of your application. In addition to a candidate's intellectual capability, the M7, in particular, seek students who have demonstrated leadership (not necessarily reflected in one's title), contributed to their various communities and have strong personal qualities. Prospective students address these through the qualitative portion of the application (i.e. essays, short answer questions, LOR, resume, etc.). Please give yourself ample time to be introspective and write a holistic application that speaks to who you are, why you need an MBA, and why now.
I am happy to continue the conversation. If interested, please reach out for a free consultation (contact details in signature).
Good luck!

Hey all,
I studied for the GMAT for about 4 months and scored a 740 on the GMAT (49 Quant, 41 Verbal, 8 Integrated Reasoning, and 6 AWA). My practice tests in order were 730, 750, 730, 780, 740, 750. I graduated from Tulane University with a degree in Finance and a 3.97 GPA. After graduating, I served in Teach for America before joining a startup company in a finance role. I am looking to apply to M7 schools this fall or next fall. Based on my practices scores, background, and target schools, do you all think I should retake the test again or work on improving other aspects of my application?
I appreciate the advice!
