Hi

I have a 730 GMAT score. I would like to know if I should retake the GMAT to increase my chances of getting a scholarship at some top schools. Does a GMAT score of 760-770 favour scholarship opportunities compared to a 730?

I do understand 730 is a pretty good score but it would be very very difficult for me to fund my MBA without substantial financial aid.

Thanks!

You should research the schools that you want to go to and find out what scholarships they give out. There will generally be a description of the type of things they look for in an applicant. it's generally not just a high GMAT score alone e.g. you probably also need leadership and extra-curricular stuff

"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."
