So after 4 months of prepartion I took my GMAT for the second time last week and got 710. Not quite sure about how I feel for this. I am aiming for Harvard, Stanford and MIT, my GMAT score is below the average for those places/borderline.
I am currently still undecided whether I should re-take the GMAT. My first attempt came in at 680 and I feel quite disappointed I didnt get higher than 710 this time, this was because the first few maths questions really got me.
I have worked in Finance for the past 3 years and think I can produce a reasonable resume / essay. I guess I might be able to call it a day here on the GMAT and focus on beefing my application up. Despite all these encouraging articles and posts on saying that you don't need a 740, there's still a voice in the back of my head nagging me to aim higher. But will that extra 30 points make a difference?
Suggestions /thoughts welcome... and good luck to those who are about to take it!
