- I'm planning to apply to top 10 b-schools in the US
- I'm wondering if I should retake the GMAT. i think I can get 720 - difference of 30points - Don't know if it's worth it.
If i do, I will have to apply in Round 2.

Please let me know my real chance, and what areas I can work on.

Thanks!

Dear anybuff,

If you have only taken the GMAT once, then it might be worth retaking if you know you can get your up at least 30 points. Your current score is good and might be high enough if the rest of your application is outstanding. If you do decide to wait and retake the GMAT, then try to get as early a test date as possible where you will be prepared and can get your application submitted shortly thereafter. Round 2 is not necessarily bad, but you want to try to get it in as early in round 2 as you can.

Good luck,
Lisa
