Dear lak,

I am in the same boat .

I have had 3 attempts now and each attempt with just a 10 point increase . I am a 31 yr female with similar background of u.

I have not given up hope and still trying to ace the test .

Your story is very inspirational and please update me how you get on with your admissions process.

All the v.best .

Dear jim

How does Columbia view Indian students with multiple attempts at GMAT .

For ex I have had 3 GMAT attempts 490-500-510

First time I did not read at all , second time I did take a course and was getting scores around 660 ,but failed in the test miserably.

Third time again I did not concentrate well on the final exam and failed.

I do not want to give up my GMAT and still want to pursue it,
How do you think Admission committee look at multiple GMAT attempts esp schools like Columbia and lbs ?
