GMAT 700 (Q50 V 35) I got owned...retake?

by jaydas86 » Wed Nov 25, 2009 8:14 pm
Hi guys,

I got owned by the GMAT....I am so disappointed....my GMAT prep scores were 740 and 760...What do you think? Should I re-take or should I apply to schools with this score?

My top choices are part time - Berkeley and UCLA, full time - Columbia, NYU and Yale....

I have 3 yrs of work ex at PriceWaterHouse Coopers, 3.5 GPA at UCLA, NCAA Golfer, fantastic recommendations, decent essays and good extra-curricular...

But thanks all of you for all your help in my GMAT prep...

I believe that with that score and your great experience, you shouldn't have a problem. However, if you are really confident that you will improve 30 points, perhaps you could re take. But I think it is a too high bet.

I would focus to move those essays from "decent" to "fantastic" and not spend more time with the GMAT. You've got something more than a month for most R2 deadlines.

Best of luck!!!
