Hi all,

I just got a 610 and am confused as to whether or not I should take it again. I scored between 600-650 on all practice exams and I am sure that with some more studying I can get between 640-680. I work in DC and am considering part-time MBA programs at Maryland and Georgetown. Do you think I have a shot at both of them or should I retake the GMAT sometime next month? Thanks for your thoughts!

is that score within the 80% range?

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I think you would have a chance at Georgetown if you beef up the remainder of your resume and have some connects to the school/area.

I agree with this. Also, you most definitely have a shot at UMD Smith. 580 is their lower range, meaning you are where you need to be.

But GMAT is only one part of your application. With that score, you are in the "let's take a closer look at the rest of the application" pile. So what does the rest of it look like? (GPA, work exp, etc.)

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
