Hello Everyone,

I took my second GMAT Exam yesterday and improved from 550 to 690 Q49/V35.

Profile:

Female, age 24 from Georgia (Eastern European Country).
Graduated from Georgia State University (GSU), Atlanta, US, GPA 3.7.
Extra Curricular activities: Was a social chair of the Georgian Student association at GSU and then became a president of the same association.

Went back to home country and have a 3.5 year experience in working with Georgian (I mean country Georgia) leading Banks.

2.5 years at Bank of Georgia (LSE listed company) as a Investor relations coordinator. Participated in the premium listing deal, of the Bank, on LSE.
1 year at Bank Republic Societe general Group. Started as a corporate business analyst and after 6 months was promoted as a senior corporate business analyst working solely on large corporate deals.
Post MBA goal is private equity.

I am wondering if I have chances at Stanford, Yale, Booth or Duke. Or do I need to retake my GMAT?

Thanks in advance

Mariam

Hi Mariam,

Thanks for posting. For your GMAT, in practice tests were you scoring significantly higher?

On your application, your highest GMAT score is self-reported, so admissions teams will focus on your best score. There is no harm in taking the exam multiple times if you believe you can improve upon your score. I mention this because programs such as Stanford do have average GMAT scores than a 690.

If you decide to take the test again, here is some free GMAT tips: https://www.stacyblackman.com/gmat-files/
