Hi,

Which schools are you thinking of applying? It's important to consider the average GMAT at each school in addition to how you compare to those in the applicant pool.

Hi,

I would strongly suggest retaking the GMAT, but only if you feel confident that you can indeed improve your score. I would look at your 700 as a neutral score, meaning it won't help your application and it won't likely hurt it either. The average GMAT at many of the schools you are considering applying is 720+.

Best,

Stacey
