Just took my GMAT - V32(70%), Q49(81%) - Score 690
Any recommendations on whether I should retake the exam?

Targeting Darden, Duke, Booth. Should i even consider higher tier - Kellog, Stanford, etc.?

5+ years work ex as an engineer.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

It would be helpful if you could provide some additional details about your specific work experience, level of undergraduate institution, GPA, etc. The GMAT is just one of many data points that are considered as part of an application review.

Hi nik6485,

A 690/Q49 puts you in range of any US Business Schools, so you can absolutely apply. Keep in mind that the schools that you've listed are highly competitive, so you need to have a strong overall application, not just a strong GMAT score.

I agree w/ Rich -- it's important, but again... just one data point. Hope the rest of your application process is going well.

"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."
