Hi mbaMission,
I'm reaaaally hoping you can provide some feedback!
So I took the GMAT for the second time last week and scored a 690 (first time was a 650 over a year ago - was just not prepared). I am wondering though if I should retake it for a third time, as I have been scoring 710-720 on practice tests. Here is my score breakdown:
Q47, V38, IR8, AWA expecting between 5-6
This is the best I've done in quant but am usually around 45. Obviously, did not do so great in verbal and am usually around a 40-42. Granted, I have been putting a lot more emphasis on studying quant.
Given the rest of my profile, is it best to take the GMAT a third time and break 700?
- 27 year old male, Asian, native English speaker
- 5 years work experience. Been in consulting for 4 years now and am currently a management consultant at a top 4-5 consulting firm (outside of MBB). Also, I am receiving sponsorship from my firm.
- Have had great leadership and management experiences, both undergrad and professional.
- Good extracurriculars at work. Started a volunteer organization in college but have not had much time since college to do more community activities.
- Will be receiving strong recommendation letters
What do you think?
Thanks!
