Hi All, I am stuck and really need your help and advise on retaking the GMAT. Below is my brief profile for consideration. I need to apply for the 2016 intake and planning to apply in R1 in all colleges.
Alternative to retaking the GMAT would be do a verified online course from Coursera or EdX, preferably from my target schools, and show academic ability - if this counts.
Profile:
Indian Male, Age 29, 8 Years of experience in Advertising Agency/Media/Publishing industry. Working in the area of strategic and tactical marketing. Have worked with several fortune 500 companies and can showcase this in my application.
GMAT Scores:
• First Attempt: 500 (Q27, V18) - Just not my day
• Second Attempt: 610 (Q37, V37) - I didn't use the right material, didn't focus on OG
• Third Attempt: 670 (Q46,V36) - Self prep
My third attempt was completely through self prep. I owe my improvement only to GMAT Club. The forums and discussions really helped me a lot.
GPA:
So I did my graduation from a no name college and with a low GPA (Bachelor of Science). Basically it will not help me showcase my academic ability. Am relying only on GMAT scores for that.
Work experience:
I have consistently performed well at work and have received very good performance reviews. Currently in a leadership position and manage a significant portion of the company's revenue. I am confident of getting very good recommendations from my boss, clients and peers.
Career Goal:
Looking for career progression in a marketing role or an advisory role in a consultancy.
Though I have been working in the area of marketing and strategy for quite some time, I have no professional qualification in this area and this the gap I want to bridge. I know my career as a strategic marketer will not go far without an MBA.
Target Schools and Average GMAT Scores:(I may not apply to all schools; Have mentioned the GMAT Average and the 80% Average)
1. Kellogg (Northwestern): 714, 660-760
2. Fuqua (Duke): 697, 620-760
3. Ross (Michigan): 704, 650-750
4. Darden (UVA): 699, 640-750
5. McCombs (University of Texas - Austin): 684, 620-730
6. Johnson (Cornell): 687, 620-740
7. Kelley (Indiana): 664, 620-740
8. NUS (National University of Singapore): 667
9. NTU (Nanyang Technological University): 665, 610-720
10. Indian School of Business: 712, 670-750
Really appreciate your inputs, suggestions and experiences.
Welcome any school recommendations as well.

Aj

Taking the GMAT again might help. I see a 110 point jump followed by a 60 point increase in score. There might just be a pattern here
If you do go ahead with the retake, I'd strongly recommend that you focus more on your applications than your exam.

Thanks for the reply.
Though I can put up with the cost and the time investment, I do not know what to do differently. I have exhausted all credible material and pretty much used all the tricks in the book. Any suggestions on what i can do differently?
Alternatively, Lets say I don't retake the exam, looking my profile, any view on what my changes are at my target schools?
Appreciate your comments.
Regards,
Aj
