Hi,

Which schools are you thinking of applying? It's important to consider the average GMAT at each school in addition to how you compare to those in the applicant pool.

Best,

Stacey

Hi,

I would strongly suggest retaking the GMAT, but only if you feel confident that you can indeed improve your score. I would look at your 700 as a neutral score, meaning it won't help your application and it won't likely hurt it either. The average GMAT at many of the schools you are considering applying is 720+.

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."
