Hi folks,
I know this might seem like a no-brainer question since 740 on the GMAT is definitely not a bad score but I have reasons to think that I might have to retake the test.
Firstly, I represent an over-represented population- Indian Male Engineer (academically), although I work as a strategy consultant in the public sector and not in the engineering space. Secondly, I am looking to apply to elite schools such as Wharton, Kellogg, UC Berkeley, Tuck and Yale, which have an average GMAT of up to 730, giving me a mere 10 point boost over their average class scores.
Also, I feel like I can definitely improve my Q49 to a Q50 at least if I put in some more effort on quant unlike my previous time. Given these reasons, Does it make sense for me to retake the GMAT for a 10-20 point increase to stand out from the crowd? Would love your thoughts on this.

varunpaul0505 - First, 740 is a great score on the GMAT. Please understand that the GMAT score is only one of the components for admissions. I recommend that you post a complete profile review in our Ask Admissions Consultants sub-forum.

Hey Varun. I suggest you to improve your profile rather than score. 740 is a good score. Now focus on other things such as recommendation letter, voluntary work, leadership roles, your experience, qualification, certifications, language, hobbies...etc. Prepare for Interviews.

Hi varunpaul0505,
Out of curiosity, how were you scoring on your practice exams leading up to your GMAT?
