Hi,

You seem to have a solid profile. It's great that you have extracurricular activities. Your involvement with tennis and the Humane Society might give you some good examples for essay topics, which will certainly help your applications to stand out.

In regard to your GMAT, yes, I would strongly encourage you to retake the exam. Many of your peers in the applicant pool will likely have a higher GMAT 720+. In addition, it will be important for you to spend some time shaping your career goals. Given you have more years of work experience than the average applicant, it will be essential that your essay is convincing as to why now (and not 4-5 years ago) is the right time for you to pursue your MBA.

Best,

Stacey

"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."
