640 - Quant 50, Verbal 27. Retake?

[vijayparsi]

Hello All,
With the current score, Should i retake the test?

I am planning to apply to ISB and Henry B Tippie School of Business.
I am in the manufacturing sector with 3 years of experience including 6 months of international Exp in USA and 6 months in China.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Vijay

The average GMAT score for Tippie (for international students) was 688:

The average GMAT score for ISB is usually in the 710-720 range.

So I wouldn't see a reason why you don't need to consider retaking the GMAT.

The real problem, however, would be to focus on how to improve your scores. Did you give it your best shot? Where do you think you can improve? How much time do you have? etc.
