Hi Jon,

Can you please tell me if I have to retake the gmat to improve my chances of getting an admission?

I applied to Tepper,Ross,ISB and McDonough last year..

Got interview call from ISB and then finally dinged.

Waitlsited at McDonough and I am still on waitlist.

Tepper,Ross dinged me without an interview..

Please let me know whether improving my gmat score from 680 will increase my chances?

Also,please note that I wrote gmat throice and I got 680 in my thrid attempt.

First attempt: 600,Second Attempt: 640 and Third Attempt: 680.

If I get a score below 680 in my fourth attempt ,then will this affect adversely? Will this be considered negative by adcom and will this further reduce my chances?

Please help me!!

Thanks!!

Jon, Sorry to ask you again...My concern is if I get suppose 640/630,would adcom considers 680 as an outlier and that way would they consider me not fit for their programs? I mean, will my 680 be overlooked if I score 640 now?

I will definitely try my best to cross that 700 border. But,I just want to clear my mind before my fourth attempt..

Also,can I mail my ISB application form to you? Can you please review it and let me know what's lagging in my application? Please let me know. Thank you in advance!!
