Hi!
I took the GMAT today and scored 750 (Q48 V45) IR 7.0
I am an Indian undergraduate student studying in Singapore. I am looking to apply to the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Bangalore for their respective 2 year programmes. From what I have seen on the IIM Ahmedabad website, they convert the GMAT score to a base score. Then they compare this base score with other applicants taking the IIM's own entrance exam, the CAT. The conversion for a 750 on the GMAT is a 267 on the CAT. Is it enough to get in? (I realise that it may not be. Inputs appreciated) Or should I retake?
What happened:
The bottomline is that I screwed up my Quant and even though the score shows Q48 it really is a 76 percentile. I had been getting 770s and 780s in all my GMATPrep tests and feel that the low Quant may be a one off thing, and that I can improve if I give it another shot. The other side of the coin, however, is that will the schools look down upon multiple attempts (I used the "send score" option before the exam) ? Another question is what if I get a 750 or below again, will that be looked down upon as a lack of improvement?
Practice tests:
Manhattan:
1:720
2:710
3:690
4: 760
5:690
6: 730
Kaplan: 760
GMAT Prep:
#1:750 (Q48)
#2: 770 (Q51) retake: 780 (Q50)
#3: 780 (Q50)
#4: 770 (Q50)
In conclusion: Is the score good enough for IIMs? Should I retake? When should I retake(I feel the sooner the better)?
I would appreciate any help in this matter.

I would not retake the test as your score is more than fine at every school in the world. Focus on your essays and application instead.

Congrats on the 750 score! As you probably know, that is above the average for the top business schools in the U.S.
You say that your score corresponds to a 267 on the 267 at the Institute of Management Ahmedabad. Do you know the average for past years' classes there? If you're above average (and I suspect you would be!), I think it would be hard to justify retaking the exam. If a 267 is average or below, you might want to reconsider retaking the exam. As anikoli3 mentioned, the GMAT is just one part of your application and with such a high score, you might be better off focusing your energy on other aspects of the application.

Elizabeth
