For me, the challenge is that I've been doing well on all of my GMAT practice exams... above 700. But on game day, I got the jitters and had poor performance. Wondering if it is necessary to retake, or if I could be competitive with my current profile.
Thoughts?

Re: Just took my GMAT... looking for an evaluation
Hello,
Really interesting profile - love that you've written a successful series of children's books and that you are so active in your community. Professionally, your experience is impressive, but also seems somewhat inconsistent. Still, I think as long as you have a strong and logical career narrative that explains the jumps (seems that you've been getting closer to entrepreneurship now with the M&A/VC work), and as long as you've got strong professional leadership stories to complement your community stories, you'll be ok in this dimension. And now for the GMAT... unfortunately, a 650 is going to make it pretty tough to be competitive at your target schools. I would suggest a retake, especially if you've been scoring high on your practice tests.
Hope this helps,
Mili
