Dear Stacy,
I am a Black female from Sub-Saharan Africa. I graduated with a Math and Econ double Major from a top a liberal arts college in 2010 here in the US. I have a 3.9 Overall GPA with a solid 4.0 in Math. I have 5 years of work experience, first four years of those in the Consulting industry. I do data analytics so I works with numbers and Big data everyday.
The problem is that today I took the GMAT for the THIRD time, and still failed to even reach my first score of 660. I have not been improving even though I took a class this time around, but I believe I have a better grasp of the content now. Below is the break of my score, as you can see I have been embarrassingly getting worse and its breaking my heart.
First GMAT Total : 660/80% (Q: 39/46%, V:41/93%, AW 4.5/43%, IR 5/52%) --August 2013
Second GMAT Total : 620/60% (Q: 43/58%, V:33/68%, AW 5/60%, IR 3/23%) --October 2013
Third GMAT Total : 650/77% (Q: 44/58%, V:36/81%, AW--, IR 2/12%) --May 2015
The issue is I am a big dream girl and I would like to go to Columbia or HBS. I worked so hard to be where I am from object poverty . Fist person to go to college from my family. Lost parents while in high school and was on my own and managed to push through!
I am very confused and frustrated. Should I study more and re-take the GMAT. I am thinking I can try again and if it doesn't work, I can cancel the score.
Please help me make the right decision.
Thanks very much!!!!!
