Hi bj.1984,

Thanks for posting. With the GMAT, how you considered taking the test again, as your score is a fair amount below the averages of the programs you are considering.

For the exam, it's important to remember that your highest score is self-reported on your application, This means that admissions teams will only focus on your best score, which is why we recommend that if you believe you can improve your score by 30+ points, it can be beneficial to take the test again.

If you decide to take the exam again, we provide free GMAT advice here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/gmat-files/
