Hi all,
I just finished my GMAT on Friday and got 720 with a pretty equal split between Verbal and Quant (my verbal was just a little higher). I have been studying a bit for a few months and really dug in my heels at the end, even though it was a little difficult with a full time job.
I don't have a business background and will probably only have 2 years by the time I apply to MBA programs. I have an arts undergraduate degree from McGill (double major International Development and Psychology) and am looking to apply to MBA programs at Rotman (U of T), Roger's (Ryerson) and Schulich (York).
Given my lack of business experience should I be retaking it to strengthen my application? I know I could do a lot better if I work a bit more at it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

First of all congratulations on that score, you really deserve it. a 720 can get you a shot at some of the top MBA programs in the world. If you are content with your score, then by all means stick with the score, but if you have an ambition of wanting to attain a very very high score, then study and aim for a score greater than 720. The choice is yours. Still once again, congratulations.
PS: Focus on building a very strong application profile (with work experience, leadership, extra curricular activities, etc) and also get some strong recommendations

I'd focus on other parts of your application.. A 720 is a great score and there is no need to retake with such a high score. You are in the medians for any school. The only argument to retake is if you think you can get a significantly better score and if your application will be very weak in other areas.
good luck for things to follow!
