MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hello, I got a 710 (47Q/41V) in my third attempt. Although I feel like I was prepared to get a similar score in my second attempt as well, test anxiety got the better of me that day. Nearly all my mocks (official practice tests) have been in the 710-730 range. I was always scoring 48/49 at Quant and feel like I underperformed in the real exam. However, I don't think I'll be able to increase my Verbal as I have been scoring between 39-41, and realistically there might a be a chance that I could decrease my score from 41. With R2 deadlines approaching, do you think it would make sense to retake the exam? I am targeting T15 schools. Honestly, if I got a 720, I wouldn't be considering to retake the exam, but since most of the schools I will be applying to have averages close to 730, I am not sure where 710 puts me. Additionally, some of my target schools accept EA as well, should I try my chances with the EA, or would it look bad to submit both tests? Thanks in advance for all the feedback

It would make sense to retake the GMAT if you are confident of increasing the score by a solid margin. Otherwise, the time, energy and money spent won't equal the end result. Importantly, 710 is a decent score for T15 colleges and focusing on building your personal brand through the essays would be time well spent in my opinion. Do DM should you have any queries regarding school shortlisting. All the best!

Give it a final, fourth try. The schools on your list count the highest score, so at the very least you have this solid 710. If you don't retake it, you'll definitely be living with the "what if" scenario if you don't end up getting into those programs.
Since you are tackling R2, don't go crazy with GMAT prep. You are clearly in the range. Instead, do light prep (if that) and go in very relaxed. Stay focused on applications. Sometimes having a "distraction" can free up the mind and optimize performance.
Good luck and let us know how you do if you end up retaking it.
