Part Time vs Full Time

by THammers » Thu May 17, 2012 10:26 am
I recently sat for the GMAT after studying for about a month. I scored a 670 with 45Q / 37V. I am considering Simon's Part Time Flexible program but I've noticed that the average GMAT score for the Part Time and Professional MBA programs is much lower than for the Full Time program, ~600 vs ~670. Do employers look down on Part Time MBA students?

Some background: I have 4.5 years of experience as an Mid Level Analyst in Finance. I have a BS and MA in Mathematics from a state public university.

Would it be worthwhile to sit for the exam again with the hopes of breaking 700? I ran out of time on the Quantitative section and had to guess on the last 5-6 problems. I think if I were more focused and studied some topics a little more I could get into the 700s.

PT vs FT aside, if you ran out of time, and feel you can score higher, yeah I'd retake the GMAT
