Just took my GMAT - V32(70%), Q49(81%) - Score 690

Any recommendations on whether I should retake the exam?

Targeting Darden, Duke, Booth. Should i even consider higher tier - Kellog, Stanford, etc.?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Why would you take yourself out of the "game" before having even applied to school? Let the schools reject you. Don't reject yourself from the schools...I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't apply either way without having done proper research. What I am saying though is that your score is within range so if you want to apply to a certain school then you should apply. If you had a score of 400 then I'd say you were reaching.... but you don't.

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
