Dear Friends.

I have got a moderate GMAT 640..With the kinf od acads (School topper & College gold medalist) & with exceptional work ex 7+ with consistently rated top I am confident to proceed but.......
Q49 V 28
My percentile in verbal is 50 which is making me rethink to take GMAT again..
I think scholls prefer a descent 75 percentil in both rather than having 89 in Q & 50 in V..

pls advise

Bummer! 640 is still a decent school.

However, now that you know that you need improvement in the verbal section, just review the verbal section thoroughly and retake the exam in 2 months.

I would suggest you to retake the exam.

Its a once in a life time thing and you should aim for the best possible school you can get into. With your profile, the only hurdle to getting into a top 10/15 school will be your gmat (unless you screw up your essays)
