Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi,
my name is Chang and I am from China as you can tell from my last name. I have taken Gmat and got 660 ( v:27 M:51).And I am going to apply accounting major at UW (Foster) and Southern University of California.

Here is my profile: my GPA is currently 3.8+ and I was an intern at Pricewaterhousecoopers (PWC) Shanghai Office for a month. Also I worked as an intern at China Unicom (a local branch) for 2 months. China Unicom is one of the 500 fortune. I do not have too much extracurricular activities and I did attend Food Drive once.

Based on my profile, should I re-take gmat to bounce my score? Thank you very much.

Thanks for sharing your profile. I would say based on the information provided I think you are fine on your GMAT and given your high GPA I don't think there should be too many questions about your aptitude. Your verbal score looked a little low so hopefully you're TOEFL score will not cause a red flag here. With schools like USC and UW I would also recommend showcasing your interest and highlighting fit where applicable. Although you stated you had minimal extra-curriculars sometimes hobbies can serve as an insight into your interest into how you spend your time outside of school and work. If there is anything relevant there I would find a way to incorporate so you don't come across as too one-dimensional

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply and I am actually graduating from Central Washington University (CWU) next year, so TOEFL is waived in my case.

Considering you are a Chinese applicant (higher GMAT scores), I would suggest you to retake the GMAT. Remember, the schools only look at your highest scores.

Best of luck,
