Hello,
I took the gmat today for second time and got worse than first time. 600(Q:48,V:25, IR:5). First time (Nov 2011) I got 650(Q:50,V:27). I do not know what happened today. I never got less than 720 in any of the 4 GmatPrep practice exams (730,740,750,750). I believe my timing was bad on Quant and that kind of pushed me from my game on Verbal.
My concern is I was planning to apply for part time mba to Berkeley and UCLA. But now I don't know what to do. They say universities take the maximum score but won't a drop in score on second try look bad on my application specially when first try was three years back? What should I do? I plan to give gmat one more time but i don't have enough time to take it before the deadline and I believe I need to study from ground up to master the basics before I sit for third and final time. My weak point is verbal.
Should I apply this year with these scores? If i do and don't get in how bad does re-applying look? Please let me know. I am clueless right now.
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi rahul_sabnani
Thanks for your post. In regards to your first 2 GMAT attempts, do not be concerned about your lower score, as your highest score is the one that will be focused on. If you do believe you can improve your score by 30+ points, we recommend you take the GMAT again.
