Hi there!
Congratulations on your GMAT score! A 695 is a solid result and puts you in a competitive position for many programs. Whether or not to retake it depends on a few factors:
1.
Target Schools: Research the average GMAT scores for the programs you're interested in. If your score is below their average, you might consider retaking it.
2.
Application Strength: Consider the strength of the rest of your application. If you have strong work experience, a high GPA, and compelling essays, a 695 might be sufficient.
3.
Score Improvement Potential: Reflect on whether you believe you can improve your score significantly. If you think you can achieve a score in the 715 range with focused preparation, it might be worth it.
4.
Time and Resources: Consider whether you have the time and resources to prepare for a retake. If you feel burnt out or pressed for time, it might be better to focus on other aspects of your application.
Ultimately, it’s a personal decision. Good luck with whatever you choose!
