Hello,
I could really need some advice!
I took the GMAT last week and got 710 (Q50 V36 AWA 5.0).
I got better scores when doing practice tests, especially on the verbal part. While taking the test, I thought many questions were tricky but I did not expect this 36.
I'm planning to apply next fall so I have time to retake the GMAT. Should I do so? I know I can do better but at the same time I'm afraid of scoring less (pretty obvious I know...)
To give you some additional background, I'm French, 26 and planning to apply in the following schools : Harvard, Columbia, Stanford and Wharton.
I'm afraid that my score is too unbalanced (92% for Q, 79% for V and 57% for AWA).
So should I retake to maximize my chances? Will a better score improve me chances?
Thanks a lot!
