I'm looking to apply to the same schools you are, and I understand your concern about your GMAT. If you feel that you can pull your score up with a few more weeks of studying, I would definitely recommend it. My suggestion to retake is based on the following two points: 1. I read a post on here from...

i definitely think that you should rewrite. you need to remedy the gulf between your verbal and quant score. with a quant score of 42, adcomms may question your ability to handle the rigorous quant work in business school. i remember reading a post on here from a guy that had a 730, with a quant sco...

from what i've heard, b-schools only use your AWA score to ensure that you were the one that wrote your admission essays. any mark between 4.5-6 is considered a sufficient score. your 700 is the score that really matters (and it is competitive for any b-school in the world). just worry about your ad...

i've heard the exact same thing about the 80-80 rule. i've even read that some programs (i believe it was Wharton) applies an 85-85 rule. but, if you look at the 80% range for the gmat scores of successful applicants to a top b-school, they are always in the 660-760 range. so, by consequence, a numb...

from what i understand, the gmat is a good indicator of business school success. whether reapplication shows a strong affinity for the school, or an unprepared applicant, is entirely up to the admissions committee based on the overall strength of your application. i also have aspirations to attend e...

i would recommend waiting until the first round of next year for a couple of reasons. first, you are only allowed to write the gmat once every 31 calendar days. thus, you will not be able to actually write it again until may (well passed the deadline for CBS). also, given the very few spots availabl...

indigo carries everything except MGMAT prep books. those are available only in US bookstores or online. if you want the 12th Ed OG you need to go to an indigo and order it in because they are not receiving them for a while. that's what they told me anyways. i ended up getting it 3-4 days later. it w...

i enrolled in the MGMAT live course and, as a consequence, I have access to all of the recorded lectures from the online course. the online lectures are exactly like the live lectures. i would go into the live lecture and just listen attentively, and then take my notes by watching the recorded lectu...

although you may never see anything as hard as the questions in the MGMAT challenge archive on the actual GMAT, it could only be to your benefit to have a greater understanding and grasp of the subject matter. i think that it is foolish to dismiss the usefulness of something because it may be above ...

their challenge archive is quite strong. i'm actually enrolled in an MGMAT prep course right now, and I have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of work they put into their materials. they even have a series of courses entitled "quest for 750"...apparently they're good (however, i cann...
