Hi,
I am a bit nervous, as I am applying to three top b-schools (HBS, Stanford, Columbia), and my GMAT was not as high as I was hoping (I ended getting sick on my test date, which I had to reschedule 3 times already after being from some viral infection)
Quick background - Graduated from a state school, worked at a prestigious mgmt consulting firm for 2.5 yrs then switched non-profit work in Africa for the past 2 years. Volunteer on the wknds as well.
GPA - 4.0 (state school)
GMAT - 690
I am thinking of finishing all of my essays and then retaking my GMAT - is it worth the hassle, and will these schools overlook a lower score, in case I get one? Will they overlook the 690, if I get a higher score? Thanks much!
