Hello, I would love to know what you think about my profile.
23 year old Italian male
Transferred from Clark university to Vanderbilt after my freshman year.
I studied abroad in Spain for six months my senior year.
Graduated in May 2019 from Vanderbilt University with a dual major in economics and psychology(GPA 3.92)
Just took the GMAT and I scored a 710 (V 41, Q 47)
Extracurriculars:
Rowing: club level Vanderbilt, varsity at Clark. I stopped halfway through sophomore year.
Greek involvement: New member educator for my fraternity my junior and senior year.
Tutoring: I tutored Latin at Vanderbilt my sophomore year and psychology at Clark my freshman year.
Work experience:
Going to work corporate for a retail firm at the end of the month.
I did a summer internship in the marketing department of a design firm between my sophomore and junior year.
I was planning on working for a couple of years in order to get some experience and then to apply for an MBA at a top tier school (HBS, Stanford, INSEAD etc.). I would like to do an MBA in order to open new career opportunities outside of Italy since, as of right now, I'm under performing compared to my class-mates.
Do you think I should try to retake the GMAT?
Am I competitive enough to enter into a top Bschool?
Thank you for your time!

Hi Vandygmat96,
Thanks for sharing your profile with us!
Your undergraduate credentials are quite impressive (especially with your GPA at a school as competitive as Vanderbilt) for sure. As a rule of thumb, you'd ideally like your GMAT score to be at or above the average for any school that you're applying to (e.g. 730 for HBS and Wharton), so if you've only taken the GMAT once and you believe you have room for improvement, it may be worth retaking it once more.
Those matters aside, your competitiveness as an applicant will hinge in large part on two things that we don't know much about: (1) your performance in your new job at a retail firm, especially compared to your peers, and (2) your post-MBA goals for both the short term (up to 5 years post-business school) and long term (10+ years after business school). Don't underestimate the importance of these -- many applicants fixate on their academic credentials, but in reality, professional experience and career goals / ambitions (as long as they make sense given your background and trajectory) are more important. Admissions committees are looking for evidence of leadership within your company and your field, so that's the single most important quality that you want to be able to demonstrate!
Hope that's helpful -- feel free to reach out to us at www.admissionado.com if you'd like to chat more!
Best,
Doris

Hello Doris,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I've taken the GMAT 2 times. The first time was in July and I cancelled the score. I am planning on retaking it in a month.
Thank you so much for your time and feedback!
