Hi Clear Admit Team,
Please take a look at my profile below. Today I sat for the GMAT again and scored a disgusting 610! I've taken the GMAT 6 times over the course of four years and though official practice tests prove otherwise, I'm not scoring where I should be. The attempt prior to my 610 was a 650 (my highest official test score). I'm not interested in taking the GMAT again, but wanted to know how adcoms will view my multiple (progressively better) GMAT scores if the most recent was a drop from 650 to 610. Luckily my number one choice, Northwestern, I didn't report the 610, but how will other schools such as Haas, Wharton, or Tuck view the slew of GMAT scores with my most recent drop to 610 while I'll be reporting a 650? I realize these are all reach schools, but how will adcoms view the drop? Below is a bit of information about me.
Age: 32 upon matriculation
Background (recent to oldest): Junior Partner of wealth management startup (3 years), Social Media Consultant for boutique firm with projects for a few companies like Phillips and Wells Fargo (hired as non-paid consultant to the firm worked to learn Social Media (1 year same time frame as wealth management startup), Territory Sales Manager for Wells Fargo Private Client Services- managed over 30 people (3 years), Insurance Agent (1 year), Digital Magazine Startup as CEO (company failed 1 year),
Education: 3.65 overall / 3.85 major GPA; Business Finance from BYU-Idaho (went there over BYU due to full ride scholarship "Dean's Scholar")
CEO of student food service startup - managed 25 people (won the university business competition)
Certifications: CFP
Extracurricular: 2 year missionary service in Brazil (still fluent in Portuguese) served in leadership positions over teams of 8 and 12; recent Co-President of local church - responsible for welfare needs, instruction to, and service to over 330 members.
Desire: Transition from financial services to Tech/Media. Really, I'd like to either start my own Tech/Media business while in school or work in consulting for one of the big 3.
Thanks so much for taking time to share your insight!
