Scored a 730. Is it worth retaking? T2 consulting, Ivy UG, Asian female (American born). Targeting HSW & M7, and not the greatest test taker so not sure if my efforts are better focused elsewhere. I’m not applying till next year fwiw, so I *could* come back to GMAT prep in 6 months. Any advice from those who have been in a similar situation is appreciated!

You’ll be fine. I know plenty of people who got into HSW and other M7s with similar stats if not identical. Focus on your essay and recs.

Probably not worth retaking unless you feel like you had an off day on the rest day or your UG GPA was bad. Focus on nailing the story.
730 is definitely good enough for M7 and competitive at HSW, but those apps are a crapshoot

If you think that 730 underrepresents your performance on the exam, yes. If you think you gave your best, please start working on other parts of your apps!

If you got a 750+ on an official practice, I’d retake. Otherwise, I would not

I think once you hit over 725, your essays and recs are the differentiators and not necessarily a few more points on the GMAT

Hi fishes,
My friend have cleared Tata Elxsi interview 5 months back and received her offer letter. Still now she haven’t recvd a joining letter. Couple of other friends are also facing similar issue.
Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1.

The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?
