Hi,

I know taking the GMAT twice doesnt impact your candidacy negatively - so what about 3 times? Do admission committees look down on that?

Also, what if your first score is VERY low the first time (480 - I completely choked and was getting over 600's on GMAT Prep practice exams) - Do they view a very low first score negatively?

Please let me know. Thanks.

Dear rosh26,

Three times is not viewed poorly. However, some schools (but not all) do view more than three times negatively. Likewise, most folks do not make a significant increase after the third time so it is not always the best use of your time and money to take it a fourth, fifth or sixth time.

Most schools focus on the highest total score in the evaluation. It can be seen as a positive that you have increased your score from one test to the next, so as long as your second attempt is an improvement you should be fine.

Good luck,
Lisa
