Hi Stacy ,

I have given GMAT last year scoring 700 (31 VA, 51 QA ) . I have nearly 4 years of experience in software development . I am BTech with 3.2 GPA and am involved in some community service. My target schools are Tuck , Haas, Ross and Darden . But I feel my GMAT score is less for these schools . Should I again give the GMAT ? Please advice ?

Thanks
Kshitij

Dear Kshitij,

A 700 GMAT score is in the right range for the schools you mention. However, your profile is one of the most common (at some schools the most common) in the applicant pools of US MBA programs. So that means you must find a way to distinguish yourself to result in a positive decision. An increase in your score will help your application. But more importantly, you need to present a compelling case to these schools to result in your admission.

Good 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."
