Should I Retake the GMAT? (Military Applicant) [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 27 Apr 2024, 05:34
Targets: LBS & Cornell (MBA)

- 635 Focus = 690 old GMAT (1st attempt)
- US Air Force Captain (Contracts/Purchasing Officer)
- Led 12 person team, $60m portfolio in Turkey
- Currently stationed in Singapore administering aircraft maintenance contracts across Asia-Pacific.
- Originally from Dominican Republic. Fluent in Spanish & Portuguese.
- 3.55 GPA (Political Science) | Top 5 US public university

I would prefer to put my time towards the CFA and other certifications. *It’s been 6 months since I have tested/studied.

635 on the new GMAT focus. GMAC conversion table shows that it’s equivalent to a 690 on the old GMAT.

@edersenmiguel:

That's fine if you want to focus on the CFA and other certifications, but the GMAT is way more important when it comes to MBA admissions.

Your current score is good, but not great. It might be enough for Cornell, but will be difficult for LBS. If you aren't interested in retaking the test, especially given the passage of time, that's fine. You should just be aware of the impact on your profile.
