Hi everyone,
So i just had my third attempt on my GMAT, and landed on a score of Q48/V34/IR8, total 660. While it is no difference compared to the one I gave a month ago but it is indeed more balanced.(Score a month ago is Q50/V28/IR6, total 660)
Below is my profile:
GMAT: as stated above
GPA in undergraduate: 3.1/4.0
Major in undergraduate: Translation(Chinese/English)
Undergraduate school: The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Ethnicity: Hong Kong Chinese
Work experience: learning and development department, now assistant manager, 5 yrs in a Global Food & Beverage company.
I am aiming at Cambridge Judge/Oxford Saad/Insead/NUS/NTU/HKUST/HEC
I am struggling to see if i should retake the exam again given that I am running short on application time(most of the school will have R1 ddl in the begining of Sept. which is less than 1 and a half month from now) However, i do have concerns about the 660 being not enough given that my undergraduate GPA is not high.
The other option is that I gave another attempt on GMAT and submit before R2 ddl but i personally think R1 is much better than R2...
Can anyone please give me some suggestions/advice? Appreciate a lot!!

If you are intent on applying to those programs, you really need to improve your GMAT score. While it's not ideal to have a below-par GPA or GMAT score, it is really challenging if both are below the average. A high score in one can somewhat counter the other. Two low scores reinforces the narrative.
Therefore, I would strongly suggest you retake the exam. Given the timing, you might be best served by waiting until R2 so you can properly prepare for your next go at the GMAT. The good news for you is that you are doing very well on the Quant side. If you can bump up your Verbal even a few points, you should get closer to that magical 700-level. If you can pull that off, you might just have a shot at some those schools. Without the better score, I'm afraid you'll be filtered out immediately.
