Hi,

Thanks for your post. Given your profile (you are part of a very large applicant pool), I strongly suggest you reconsider taking the GMAT. Many applicants with similar profiles will have stronger scores (above 700). In addition, your GMAT score falls below average for both programs on your list. While this isn't necessarily a deal breaker, it does mean that you will have to find other areas in your application to compensate for this weaker area.

Regards,

Stacey
