Hi freeky18, If you feel there is potential upside on the GMAT then I do strongly recommend you re-take the test. The schools you mention all have average GMAT scores of 700+ and coming from from one of the most competitive profiles (IT engineer) it will be critical to have a GMAT score above the sc...

Particularly without a promotion in title to show to the admissions committee, it will be important to demonstrate your increase in responsibilities and work successes. Doing so should help mitigate that aspect to ...

The schools will often share contact information for students, particularly those in leadership positions for student clubs.
