Hi,

I have a question regarding my GMAT Score. I am a female with 7 years of work experience in Research and development, IT, India.

On first attempt I scored a 710 ( Q 47, V 40 ). But I was getting much much better in my mock GMATs as well as GMAT Prep. So I decided to give it another shot in another month's time.

But unfortunately on the eve of my second attempt, I fell sick with a very high fever and sore throat. I went in for the examination and tried my best, still I got a low score of 640 ( which was much much below my standards and my preparation ) and left me completely disheartened and lost.

I am a very good student academically. I was school topper and B.E. Computer engineering topper from a top league college in India.

Although all the mba programs have published on the website that they take the higher score, I still want to know whether it would adversely affect my profile.

Also, Do you suggest that I explain the reason for my poor second attempt in the additional essays that College have.

Thanks,

Dear AmitGMAT,

The majority of schools only use your highest score, as you report on your application form. For many, they do not even look at the official score report, showing all of your test attempts, until after the decision has been made to verify what you reported is true. Your first score of a 710 is a great score and you should feel confident that you are competitive on that measure. There is no reason to explain a GMAT score on a test attempt that does not factor in to your evaluation.

Good luck,
Lisa
