Hi,
I just gave my GMAT today and scored 710 (Q46, V41, IR 5). Now I’m faced with the huge dilemma of whether I should give the GMAT again, as my Quant score is a little low. Would appreciate any advice on this matter!
Some background about me:
Target schools: Columbia, Indian School of Business, Cambridge Judge, Wharton, INSEAD, Stanford
I’m a 24 year old female with 3 years of work experience in 2 of the top investment banks (think Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPM).
I graduated with an arts degree from one the top arts colleges in India.
GPA: 3.5 / 4
As for extra curriculars, I have represented my school in National tennis and swimming competitions. I hold a scuba diving certification and have written several articles for my city’s newspaper.
I am also very actively involved in community service and currently part of my company’s corporate social responsibility committee.
That’s a brief about me. There are other extra curriculars but these are the most relevant ones.
All this taken into consideration, do you think I should write the GMAT again in hopes of raising my Quant score? The maximum I can get in Quant based on my mock tests is Q49.
Please let me know your thoughts! Very very confused and dejected at the moment. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Hi MBAmuscat2018,
Thank you for your post and for sharing your profile. You have an interesting profile, and if you take the time to really put together a strong application, your current GMAT score might work. The challenge, however, is the U.S. schools you are targetting. They place value on the GMAT a great deal more than European schools - average GMAT score is 720+. Albeit female, you also belong to an overrepresented body of applicants, so if you are keen on CBS, Wharton, and Stanford, I recommend you retake the GMAT. The European schools value maturity, so your age might be a hindrance. Getting a higher GMAT score might help with that perspective.
If you would like to continue the conversation, please feel free to reach out and schedule a free consultation (contact details in signature).
Good luck!

Consider the following points MBAmuscat2018:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- The work profile contours sound good. However, it'll be important to understand the actual nature of your work (what desk/role, captive/front office etc) as well as impact delivered. Just being part of those big brands is great, but eventually its 'your' work that matters. So do share on how that stands out - there are a ton of folks from those brands vying for a place in top schools. Think about how you'll differentiate against those.
- From arts background to banking looks to be good story in itself. It will be important to know the actual college name to better understand pedigree. Given your GPA, the GMAT may make the overall academic arc just about or slightly above average. That may be difficult to fly given the top league schools you are targeting. You should definitely think of a retake and push harder. Work with a test-prep team if that helps.
- The ECs and volunteer efforts sound adequate. Do try to bring out the quantified impact that the csr efforts have had due to your presence.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
