- GMAT Score:690
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I took the GMAT today, but was very dismayed by my score. Despite constantly breaking 700 on Prep, I only got a 690. (50 Q, 33 V). I think it was because I was too tense and did not take the exam carefully(I finished the verbal with almost 20 minutes to spare!)
I'm Chinese American and worked in banking. Unfortuanetly, I became a victim of the crunch in December and since have been out of work. Undergrad GPA is 3.6/4.0 at UPENN, but unfortuanetly, I had a very niche major (East Asian Studies). Work experience wise, I worked at a major UK Bank since graduation with rotations in UK (all of 2008), HK (3 months), Milan (6 months) and New York (1 year).
Should I retake the exam? Especially in today's market, how bad is it for people to be out of work this long? Are top 10 schools out of the picture?
