Hello all,
I came here as resource when I was studying for my GMAT. I got a 700 on my GMAT in November 2009. I started the Lehigh University part time MBA in January 2010 and switched to full-time in August 2010. I've been a teaching assistant and will be completing my MBA with a concentration in Finance in May.

Throughout this time, I've gotten more interested in topics in business and have been considering applying for my PhD. Due to my husband's work, I may be moving to Austin, TX after graduation, and obviously McCombs would be a dream school. I know that McCombs uses GMAT to screen potential applicants -- should I retake it to try to get higher before my applications. It seems silly being that I'm almost done with my MBA, but I may be location limited and McCombs would be a dream school.

Thanks,
Jenny

I dont think GMAT retake is required. Your score is good enough.

Hi jennysbelly,

Your gmat score is good enough plus it will be valid this year and the next. So, you should definitely use the same score and apply :)

Your GMAT is above the average for McCombs, so there's no need to retake.
