GMAT retake?? Suggestions required.

by crazy4gmat » Thu Sep 24, 2009 5:45 am
I have taken the GMAT 3 times with a maximum of 660(Q48,V34). I am planning to apply in some top 30-50 US B-schools where i should be around 700 range inorder to stand a pretty good chance as i am an Indian IT Male.So should i retake a 4th time? Or should i proceed with my current score? I feel i have it in me to score a 700.Please let me know your thoughts

I think your best bet is to ask this question in the admissions consultants section of the forum... They know best!

Hi,
your score of 660 is great, esp for the schools you are applying for. a 700+ score is only really necessary for the top 5 schools. also, remember that your score is only one part of your application. so a quality score and a bad remainder of your application is not good. as long as the rest of your application is quality, that score should be more than enough. i would focus on your applications at this point.
good luck!
