Hi,
I need some help in deciding whether or not I should retake the GMAT.
GPA: 2.9
-Recent grad with double major in Accounting and Industrial Management from Purdue(double minors as well but I doubt it matters)
GMAT: 640 (Q43, V35)
I don't plan on applying for a couple years(thought I'd take it now since I'm not working). My only experience I have are a couple internships that aren't that relevant, but I do plan on working abroad later this year and getting more relevant work experience after I return to the US.
Obviously I don't give you very much information to work with, but I'm just trying to get a rough idea of what kind of schools I would be looking at so I can decide if I should retake or not. I was shooting for ~700 on the GMAT because my GPA is so low, but obviously that didn't happen and now I am considering a retake. If I were to retake, I feel the best I could do is ~700, but probably not over. So is it worth it to retake and score 40-60 points higher?
Program: Either MBA or Masters in Finance/Accounting (still really not sure what I want to do since I zero work experience). Really looking for a program with a good name. It seems like so many people have MBAs that the only thing that will separate you from the bunch is where you got the MBA.
Thanks!
Chris
