Hi,
I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to retake the GMAT's. I scored a 720 on my first try with a perfectly balanced Quant and Verbal Score. I want to know whether or not scoring a 760 would make a difference on my applications and whether or not it would be worth it to retake the GMAT's. During my practice sessions, I was consistently scoring in the 750-760 range.
My goal is to go to a top 10 US MBA program and obviously would love to be competitive at a school like Harvard. How does my profile stack up and would the GMAT score difference help?
For a little more context on my background...
1) Will have worked 2 yrs at a large semi-conductor company. Led cross-functional teams in support of new products.
2) Created an iPhone application that was sold to a large transit company. Application is currently in use in cities in the US and Canada.
3) 720 GMAT
4) 87% GPA University of Waterloo Software Engineering - Graduated with distinction
5) Interned at multiple cities in North America, such as Seattle, San Diego, and Toronto while performing a wide range of roles including research, program management, and software development.
6) Awarded a patent at large tech company.
7) Extracurricular - plan and budget site-wide social events at work, coach softball team, umpire games
8) Post MBA goals - Management consulting or entrepreneurship.
