So, I originally posted in the 'I Beat the Gmat' Section of this forum, listing the structure of my process and my score:
https://www.beatthegmat.com/an-unbalance ... 97093.html
I just took this test last week, and after several months of studying, scored a 710 (Q45, V42). The verbal was 95%, which is great, but the quantitative score is only 71%.
I just graduated from UT-Austin last year with a degree in finance. My gpa is a 3.84, and I just accepted an offer to start working with a Fortune 5 Oil and Gas company in a commodity trading analyst position. I don't plan to enroll into business school any time soon. I will probably work for 2-4 years before applying, since my score will be valid for 5 years. In that time, I'll probably be expanding on my extra curriculars and work on strengthening my application in other ways.
My target schools are the top ones: Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago, etc.
I really want to know whether it would be wise to re-take my GMAT, since my quant was kind of low. I took a total of 5 tests. Here are my scores:
MGMAT 1: Q43, V45 = 720
MGMAT 2: Q43, V39 = 680
MGMAT 3: Q48, V41 = 730
GMAT Prep 1: Q49, V37 = 710
GMAT Prep 2: Q49, V41 = 740
Do you think you consultants think its worth re-taking? Additionally, I would be interested in an admissions consultation, so I can figure out what is most important to work on in the next 3 or so years before I apply. Please let me know of your opinions about a re-take and whether any of you offer a service that I can help me learn more about the intricacies of this process. Thanks.
