Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hello,
I'm a 25 year old man from Peru in South America.
I have a BA in Economics from the best university in Peru, graduating in the top 20% of my class.
I have 4 years of work experience in banking, being my last position a financial manager in charged of a team of 3 people, that are in charge of the $2B in funding of our company.
I was also a volunteer for 2 years in a poor village outside the capital, 2 years i was a teacher and the other 2 a team leader, the first one only for 8 teachers of the 5th grade and the second on of the 16 teachers that were in the 5th and 6th grade.
I took a 3 month class in lima ti prepare for my gmat and scored a 680, i don't know if i should retake it or begging with my essays, of which i haven't done almost nothing.
My preference of schools in order are Insead, Stanford, Harvard, LBS, Columbia, Wharton and Chicago.
I know that y score is below the average but i also know that people who apply from my country are almost always below the average in gmat, and still managed to get in beacuse they are compared with other people from the country, so they compete more with the average of the country-region than with the other candidates.
So i wanted to know if i should take the gmat again and aim for R2.
If i get 700 will i make a lot of difference?

Hi,
You have a good profile and work experience. Your GMAT is on average side, if you think that after retaking you can only improve it to 700 then no it will not make much difference. If you can improve 700+ then would suggest you to retake your GMAT. Based on your GMAT Score i would suggest you to target top 10-20 B-Schools. The B-Schools you have mentioned above comes under top 10 B-Schools.
You can make your profile stronger by focusing on your essays and extracurricular.
You may also gauge your chances of getting admission by trying this Chances of B-School tool https://bit.ly/1rRCod5
Hope that helps.
Feel free to PM if you would like to know the list of B-Schools suitable to your profile.
Cheers!

esteban,
I agree with Neha. Your GMAT score is solid/good. If your quant score is above the 80th percentile than there is probably no need to retake it if your doubt you can raise it more than 20 points. As an applicant from Peru, you will be a strong 'diversity' candidate at most schools.
