At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi there,
I just got a 710 on my GMAT (49Q, 38V), IR 8 and AWA pending. I would like to apply for the Harvard 2+2 program. My question is, should I retake? I got 750 on a GMAT prep test, but didn't actually think I'd done any worse on the real thing.
Some background - I'm going into my final year at Cambridge University. Just completed the three-year Economics degree and got a 2.1, now I'm studying 'Management' for a year (not a masters - just an additional year of my undergrad). I've got very good extracurriculars. I've done one 8-week internship in management consulting with PwC.
Any reason I wouldn't get an interview?
Thanks!

I would recommend talking with an admissions consultant (or calling the admissions group itself). I can't tell you if you will get an interview, but I do know that having a super high GMAT score isn't a guarantee of admission and a 710 is a good score. That said, higher scores are better...
Let's talk about score maximization. It does look like you have the ability to increase your score. You were practicing at a higher level and it looks like you might have only taken the exam once. If it's accurate that you did only take the GMAT once and you don't have "GMAT fatigue" I would recommend looking hard at taking another shot at the exam.

I don't think a retake is required but you should discuss your candidature with a HARVARD specific consultant. Check out this link for our team of HARVARD consultants: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#-admissio ... ol/Harvard
Once the consultant understands your profile properly, he/she can guide you appropriately.
