Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

I took the GMAT for the first time last week and scored a 700 [90%/47Q(79%)/39V(87%)]. My goal was a 750, which I actually attained on one of the official GMAT practice tests two days before the real thing. Here is my general profile:

- 28 year old white American male.
- Software engineer working for a large top 50 corporation with 5 years total professional work experience.
- Masters in electrical engineering from a top 10 American engineering school; 3.5 overall masters GPA.
- Bachelors in electical engineering from a small "mediocre" school; 3.9 overall bachelor's GPA.
- 1 year of experience managing software testers at my current company.
- 1 year of undergrad leadership experience as a fraternity officer and as a manager in the student work program.
- Occasional participation in charity events (too many hours on the job to commit as much time as I would like).
- Target schools: Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Wharton.

I would also like to know if there is any chance that schools would look upon me negatively if by some chance my second score is lower than my first or if I am not feeling very well during the test and thus decide to cancel my scores.

Thanks!
