I just finished my GMAT test today:

Quantitative: 50 (92%)
Verbal: 37 (82%)
Total: 710 (92%)

I have over 7 years experience in Banking, and now working in a top Investment bank in Singapore, with a role in Operations Control.
Prior to my current job, I worked in a Shanghai for 6 years, - 2 years in a National bank, 4 years in global top commercial banks.
I am female, non-native English speaker.

Although I aimed to get a higher score, 730-750 will be satisfactory, but this is the score i got today.

Can I still aim at Stanford and NYU Stern with this score? Or should I actually consider to re-take the test?
Appreciate your opinions. thanks,

Hi Serena TTT,
Thanks so much for your post. If you're asking just about your GMAT score here, then I would say that yes, you are in the running in terms of being a competitive applicant. Your score is about average for Stanford, and above average for Stern. It's hard to assess from what you've stated here whether or not these programs are a good fit for you. I don't have a sense of what sort of goals you have, or who you are outside of your work and academics. I'm happy to set up a time to do a brief initial (more detailed) assessment of your profile. Please contact [email protected] to speak with one of our counselors.
Best,
Deena

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
