Dear Cocoravi,

Your GMAT and GPA are in the competitive range for the 4 schools noted in your post, although both are slightly below average for these programs. Since admissions decisions are made on more than these numbers, you do have the rest of your application to strengthen your profile and make a compelling case for your admission. Your CPA will further demonstrate your aptitude and analytical/quantitative proficiency. Whether or not a GMAT retake would make a difference depends on several factors: how you assess the rest of your profile to stack up to the competition, how strong you believe the rest of your application will be, and if you are confident you can increase your score without sacrificing the quality of your essays. If you are concerned with the strength of your application and think you can increase your score, then it is probably worth the investment to retake.

Good luck,
Lisa
