Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hello consultants,

I took the GMAT this morning for the second time, 4 months after the first, and got the EXACT same score. 590. I was completely shocked when it pooped up on my screen. I have been scoring in the upper 600s on the practice tests, so this horrible score felt like a slap to the face.

Right now I am in sort of a pickle. I already started apps for Columbia, Kellogg, Wharton, Stanford, and Duke. I've got great letters of recommendations on their way in. My plan was to use my very different background as leverage to get in. Here is my backround info: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba-student- ... 16934.html


Now that i have taken the GMAT twice and obviosuly showed NO improvement, I believe I don't have a chance. Do I apply for Round 2 anyway? Do I take the test again and go for Round 3? Do I even bother with Round 3? (disadvantage)

I am just so frustrated, sad, and disappointed with myself because i tried so hard this second time. I have no explanation on how this happened. Please please please give me any kind of advice. I would appreciate it so much.. Thank you
