To All,
Please give me ur advice (EXPERIENCED REPEATERS).
I have a GMAT score of 680, AWA 4.5 & I'm interested in
taking GMAT again in 1st week of March. Before registering
with SYLVAN, I have following queries ----
1. How do ADCOMS see repeaters ? What is their policy towards
second administration of GMAT ? Do they differentiate
between first attempter's 720 & the one who got 720 in his
second attempt.
2. Suppose, i get a score less than 680 in my second attempt.
How do ADCOMS decide which one reflects my true abilities ?
Is a lesser sore going to put me in a disadvantageous position
or ADCOMS will take the highest of the two irrespective of
me getting less marks in the later test. Please clarify.
(NOTE : While answering, keep these B-Schools in mind UCLA,
Wharton, Kellog, Stanford, Harvard & texas-austin)
& reply accordingly.
Thanks

My recommendation will be NOT to take the GMAT again. I will be enrolling the Harvard MBA program this fall, and got admited with a GMAT 650 / 5.5 AWA. 680 is a great score! I guess you are in the 93% percentile. If you plan to apply for next year, I will be focusing now on doing the best I can on my job in order to abtaib good recs, starting to plan my essays (topics are mostly the same on all b schools) and joining an interesting extracurrucular activity that can distinguish you from other candidates.
One of my best friends got a GMAT 750 / 6.0 AWA, had great grades at college and was rejected from Berkeley, Wharton, Harvard and Stanford. Good credentials are not enough, you have to show that you are goal oriented, that you are a leader and that you can contruibute to the community both in and outside the class.
I wish you the best in your application process.
