I scored a 700 on my first attempt today. Quant - 47 (79%)/Verbal - 40 (89%), overall 90%
I've been scoring between 720 and 740 on practice exams so I think realistically I could bump this score by 20 to 40 points, but I'm not sure if it's worth it, or if an admissions person will look at a 720 and 700 as being about the same.
I'm applying to the following schools:
UPenn
USC part time
UCLA
Northwestern JD/MBA
Harvard
Given that my undergrad GPA was low at 2.7 is this score high enough to give me a chance at any of these schools?
Do you recommend retaking the exam or settling for the good but not great score of 700?
I'm 28 years old and a white male with 6 years of work experience with nothing remarkable to point to on my resume. I really want to go to a top school or not at all.
What advice can you give me? Thanks.
