I got a 645 on the GMAT Focus Edition (this was my 4th attempt) - do you think I should take it again if I am targeting a T15 or M7 school?

For context I got a 3.5 GPA studying business at a top 20 undergrad program, have worked in consulting for 5 years & lead a few extracurriculars.

I would say to be done. A 645 is within the 80% range at all M7 and T15 schools.

Focus your time on your essays.

P.S. I worked with a guy who got into CBS with a 615 and 3.1 undergrad.

T2/B4?

T2

If I recall you have to submit all attempts so I’d say don’t waste your time unless you think you can dramatically raise your score

I have a new client who, I think, got bad legal advice from someone else she consulted with. From the information I have, there is no way she gets to the numbers I do. I work in a pretty small legal community. How do I address this delicately? My client is hung up on “but that’s not that X said” even though I’ve explained it multiple times and way. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me).

My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
