Disappointed , seeking advice

[varunkmr]

Hi,

I took my GMAT yesterday and scored 680
Q 50
V 32

I am highly disappointed at my verbal score since during all my simulated tests I scored around 720 - 750.
I will write a detailed post about the entire experience, but right now I am in a huge dilema, whether I should retake the GMAT, or should I concentrate and start with my applications?

A snapshot of my background
- I have 5 yrs of Work Experience, in the Telecom Domain.
- I am an Indian , so the GPA isnt available, but I was always among the top 2 -3 of my class .
- I have a Bachelors degree in Information Technology.
- My target schools are Haas/ Sloan (technology).

Any pointers?

My 2 cents..
I scored a 690 in my gmat and am planning to appear for the test again in a month. Most top universities have a gmat mean of ~710. 690 I figured wouldn't make the cut. Besides if you think you'll get 720+ in a retake then I suggest you go for it coz that way your gmat score would be taken out of the equation and all you have to concentrate on is your application.

I suggest you apply ... and also you can try giving it once more before the deadlines
