Hi Stacy,

I am Rodrigo from Argentina and I've been living in the US for the last 2 years.
I am planning to attend to Rice or UT, part time MBA programs here in Houston.
I write you because I would like to get your advise regarding the GMAT:

1) 590 (Q: 38, V: 32)
2) 6 Years experience (1 year working in Argentina, 3 years in Montevideo and 2 years in USA). While I was working in Montevideo, I was assigned to two short term assigments (one in Canada for 4 months and another one for 2 months here in the US) as Project Manager
3) GPA: According to the translation, it's 3.5

I would like to know your opinion whether should I take my gmat again.
thanks,
Rodrigo.

Dear Rodrigo,

I think you are a competitive candidate for the part-time programs, even though your GMAT is below the average. If you feel you can increase your score, then I do think you should take the test again. You have a good GPA and some interesting work experience that will work to your advantage. If you present a strong application with a solid rationale for getting your MBA, then I think you do have a chance at a 590, but a higher score would increase your chances.

Best of luck,
Lisa

"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."
