Is it worth canceling a 690 score on the GMAT if you’re targeting a 730+ for M7, or would you just keep it and retake it later? There is also always the option to reinstate I suppose.

I did it a few years ago, got 690 and kept it. 5 years later I was too lazy to retake it again but thank God I had the score.

Headed to insead now

I just hear everyone obsessed with rankings but tbh in 10 years, outside say Harvard, they will have changed. My Alma mater undergrad was a top 20 school that has fallen for example. I chose it because it was the best in my local area but who cares given i don't live in that geographic local anymore.

Other schools that I didn't even consider have risen up.
