Gmat 700

[gmatter_2008]

Hi

I took GMAT two times now (second time today) and here are my scores.

Gmat 1 : 680 (48,34)

Gmat 2 : 700 (50,34)

Please provide some info how will universities receive if Gmat is taken a third time by an applicant.

Thanks in advance

Why do you think you should be taking it again?

The GMAT is just one aspect of the application. Your scores are now in range. Move onto the application.

Hi Alex,

I want to retake to have really good chances of Financial Aid.I think I cant expect Substantial Aid with a 700

My Profile (BY 2009)

Not stellar academics (GPA)

My Target colleges are :

Please suggest whether it's worth retaking.I am really confident of atleast a 30 point increase.How will adcoms react to a Third time GMAT score.

Thanks in advance,

Adcoms will question your priorities by re-taking the tests when your scores are already well above the averages for their schools. To be blunt, they will think you are a bit of a tool (even if you feel you have reasons for doing so).

Hello

Sorry for not following ur advice..But I took the GMAT again and this time got the scoreline I wanted (at last!)

750(50,41) awa 6.0

Now Could you tell me how much advantage would R1 applicants have over R2 ??

Is it only in terms of scholarships or admissions too ??

Are there too many applicants in R2 ???

Thanks
Krishna.
