Guys, could you please tell me, should I retake the GMAT? I have a low verbal score because I am not a native speaker. Are b-schools ok with such verbal? Are there any schools that prefer more quantative section that verbal?

Thanks. But I think that schools appreciate more balanced score. Any advice?

It's true schools like balanced scores.

That being said, you can always use the optional essay to present your low(er) verbal score.

Assuming you have other items to compensate for your lower verbal score (volunteer work, outreach, etc.) you do not need to take the GMAT again.

Assuming you want to, you should not have much trouble getting to a 38 in verbal. A 34 is an EXCELLENT starting place for a non-native speaker.

Congrats. 710 a good score. If you think you can improve the score and have time in hand then go ahead.

Today I received official results. My AWA score is 5.0. I hope it will slightly improve my verbal section.
