- GMAT Score:700
Old question but New Way.
Hello All, I took my 4th attempt at GMAT and scored 700 (Q48 78 or 82 percentile, V38 84 percentile - Total 90 percentile). I am bit disappointed with my Verbal score. I was hoping to score 42+. I have a BS in Mechanical Engg from a state school in India with 3.28/4.0 GPA and I started my own special purpose machining business in India. I did that for around a year and then merged it with my father's business and set out to get my Masters. I got my masters from University of Texas-Arlington in Aerospace Engg (3.2/4.0). During this time I was recipient of Dean's Fellowship for 4 consecutive semesters and also GTA and GRA. When I was in grad school I also took some advanced Mathematical Modeling classes with A in everyone of them and a graduate level class in Macro and Micro economics with scoring B. After that I have been working as a Product Design Engineer with Ingersoll Rand. I will have total 5+ years of work ex by the time I will start my MBA. And yes I will be 29 when I will start my MBA.
I am planning on applying to Stanford GSB, Haas, MIT-Sloan, Booth for social for profit entrepreneurship. I know my chances are pretty slim at all those schools but I don't want to get an MBA just for the sake of getting an MBA. That is why I visited all the schools on the list and made sure that I am willing to spend time and energy. SO that is the reason I don't have a "safety school". I am still debating Ross and Yale but regardless they will be R2 game if I decide to apply.
Also, I have been working with local charter schools for more than a year with curriculum planning and other activities. I might be in the governing committee of that school starting this year. Started a co-ed soccer league for the international community in small midwest town so that they can meet locals and make friends. My rec will be good to excellent.
So yeah, back to the original question. What do you guys think about my GMAT? Should I retake? Because I have been consistently scoring 730+ in all my practice test. Remember this was my 4th attempt. Given the history of strong quant background from my undergrad and grad school work, does it really make sense to spend $250 and few more weeks on 5th attempt?

MBA is just one of the many ways to the destination.
