I am dissatisfied with the score. 710 (Q51, V35)
I have been studied periodically for 9 months now. Since I have works as well, so I can only spend about 1h30 each night and about 9 hours in the weekends.
I have gone thru:
- OG 10, OG12
- Verbal Review, Quant Review
- Kaplan 800
- 400/1000SC
- 400/1000CR
- 70 Passages/1000RC
Mock Tests:
- 31 Paper Tests Sets (around 680 - 770 I think)
- 4 Test Kaplan CDs (540 - 680)
- 6 Manhattan Tests (710, 720, 720, 750, 750)
- 2 Gmat Prep Tests (700, 680 (5 months ago), 750, 770 (this week))
- 1 Knewton (done 3 times) (700, 740, 750)
My test day:
At the test center, I was flying thru writing and math. Between this 2 sections, I began to have running nose problem, it is short of a allergic problem of mine, and it is uncontrollable, I have not had running nose this whole week but today it had to happen. Anyway, during the verbal section I used a lot of papers to blow my nose, it provides a bit of distraction.
There were few problems with math, about 2 problems I have no idea so I just guess. The other were within my skill.
Verbal were quite different from what I expected I think. Some of the idiom in the SC I have never encountered before. The CR is also not clear cut, there are some that I could only use POE and not be able to conclusively pinpoint the logical reasoning. I reckon those one cost me a lot. I had 2 long readings passage which took some time but overall, reading I think was ok.
Anyhow, the question now is whether I should retake or not? Please help me answer this question.
I am a foreigner, I had studied undergraduate in the US, but now I worked back in my home country. I had 2 years of EXP in Sales up to now, which will be 3 years till next Fall, the time I want to attend school.
I wanted to apply to the top schools:
- Columbia
- NYU
- Harvard
Is my score enough to get in, scholarships? How about with schools in top 30? Do I have a chance to get scholarship? I need the scholarship.
The problem with me reading the Gmat material now is that I kinda remember of all them now, I could tell the answer from OG questions instally without thinking. The only part in the material that I have not touch is the LSAT portion and half of the 1.
October as you all know is the first round application, I could wait for a few months to clear my mind of the material and relearn and retake?
Or may be I should continue study and retake in 31 days?
Please advise.

Congrats for the the score, it is good for any top school if you present good application but the self satisfaction is important too. Its hard decision just go through the above thread.

gautrang, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
As far as your question is concerned, it really depends if you realistically believe that you can increase your score by more studying. 30 days of very intensive studying cannot IMO improve your fundamentals dramatically. But if your fundamentals are very solid, then it would be enough time to fine tune your gaps (especially in quant I think).
