Hi,
I'd love some advice.
I took the GMAT last month and came out with 660 (83%) Q:45 V:36 AWA:6
I am a female with a BA from UCSD in Communications GPA 3.4 with lots of interesting extra cur activities, community service, multi cultural background, languages, lived in different countries.
I have a more verbal tendency, and scored this well in the quant on the GMAT after very serious preparation. In undergrad I've taken Calculus (C), and Statistics (A), but no other quant courses.
I planned to re-take the GMAT to try and improve the score in December, but feel that I'm not as well prepared as I was before the first time, and can't fit it proper preparation along with all the applications work.
I'm applying to Kellogg, Berkeley, Stanford, UCSD for this fall in round 2
Do you think it's worthwhile to re-take the GMAT in this point? or is it a good enough score to try and apply?
Do I have a fair chance with these starting points?
If I take the GMAT later (in January), turning in the Berkeley App with my current score, but maybe scoring better in time for the other application. Is it worthwhile?
I'm looking for another one or two school options I could apply to, focusing on California or Chicago areas. Does UCSD count as a "safety school" for me? or should I aim even lower for a "for sure" admission? I realize no one knows for sure, but what does your experience tell?
Thanks so much!
