Hello, I was recently accepted to the McCombs School of Business at UT-Austin. I will be entering the Part-Time program. I have 4 years work experience, a 3.3 Undergrad GPA in Aerospace Engineering (Texas A&M), currently work as a Software Engineer at Dell, and a 670 GMAT (44Q, 38V). I've taken the GMAT once before and scored a 560 (33Q, 34V), but this time, I really studied hard for the GMAT (Manhattan GMAT).
I really want to enter the world of management consulting at one of the Big 4, and plan to supplement my low GMAT with extracurricular activities (UT Graduate Consulting Club), networking, and planning to switch career trajectories in about a year to a hybrid engineering-finance role at Dell before I graduate. Should I retake GMAT given my profile?? It's been weighing heavily on my mind..
Thanks in advance!

I think you can do well without a 700+ on the GMAT. For IB or MBB it can be more of a requirement, but if you just do well in your studies (and the networking) I think you can reach your goals anyhow.
If you are SURE you can get higher on the GMAT then it may not be a bad idea to try,
Best,
Jon

Thanks Jon. After thorough consideration, I've decided to retake, this time with a HEAVY emphasis on Quant.
Nevertheless, thanks for your knowledgeable response, it makes me feel a little better about my chances. Greatly appreciated!
