Hey everyone,
I took the GMAT recently and made a 680 (Q44, V36) and am applying to marketing programs that accept either GMAT or GRE scores. My scores put me in the 86th percentile. This is my first attempt and I have been studying for the past 6 weeks.
I was disappointed with my showing in the verbal section because Verbal had always been my strength and I had been making consistently over 41+ in all my prep tests.
My dream program, Northwestern's IMC program which is housed in the journalism department, attracts more business and journalism undergrad students and thus it is more likely to have a lower GMAT average than traditional b-schools. So if I were to benchmark these scores with Kellogg, I would fall barely in the mid-80% GMAT scores range (650 to 760).
So with all that, should I retake the exam to be very competitive for admission? Or is this a decent score for the IMC program?
Any input would be highly appreciated!
