Hi everyone,
Just took the GMAT today and scored a 710 (Q46, V42). Despite working in a pretty quantitative job, I just could not conquer the quant section. Pretty disappointed with it because I got a 730 on my last GMAT Prep practice exam (I know it is not a perfect indicator, but had high hopes). As I debrief, I keep wondering - should I retake it? Here are some more things about me without revealing too much information for privacy reasons:
Undergraduate School: Top 5 undergrad business school (Wharton/Ross/MIT/NYU/Berkeley)
Undergrad GPA: 3.93/4.00
1st job: Investment Banking Analyst at a Bulge Bracket Bank
2nd job: Private Equity Associate at a Middle Market Private Equity Fund
Highlights:
- lots of managers/more senior individuals from my bank had gone to the top two business schools I am aiming to get admission to, and have offered to write recommendation letters
- strong extracurriculars during undergrad
Dream Schools:
1) Booth (UChicago)
2) Kellogg (Northwestern)
3) Wharton (Penn)
4) Harvard
5) Ross (Michigan)
6) Mendoza (Notre Dame)
Overall, is a 710 on the GMAT, in conjunction with the rest of my application, enough to get me into the 6 listed schools?
Thank you for all of the help!

Hello carsonel
Even though your GMAT is slightly lower than the average of the shortlisted schools, I will recommend you to re-take only if you are 100% confident of taking the score up by minimum of 30 points.
Otherwise, looking at your past school and scores, I'll say spend time on building a strong written application that brings out the business impact of your work and key achievements (which are missing in your post to give a deeper feedback)

Not a professional for sure, but I dont think your Gmat score is fine when it goes along with your profile. However, If it is your first attempt, I think you can retake (in case you feel you can do better - figuring out from mock test + have time to invest in studying more for Gmat). If I were you, I might just go ahead
However, considering this was your first take and the schools you are targetting, we recommend a retake. We are confident you will be able to boost your score
