Took gmat for 4 times and the best score i have gotten is a 605 on the focus. Took GRE and scored 318 first time (155 V, 163Q) and 321 second time (160V, 161Q). Have submitted both rounds of GRE to 4 schools.

Any advice here? Personally exhausted from all the test prep and studying. 5 YOE in consulting, thinking about Booth, Kellogg, Duke. No intention of pivoting industries.

321 is above avg for Duke and close enough for the other two. You’re in a good spot but remember these things are meant to be taken multiple times so maybe another test if you can manage

I say if you’re able to make you application/essays stand out and have a decent GPA and work experience, your current score should be fine.

321 is a decent score - in range for all of your schools.

I do suggest that you take it one more time to see if you can get your best subscores on the same sitting.

You are more than three digits!

I feel you!! Also applying R1 fall and right now my best GRE is a 318 with 156Q and 162V , slightly the opposite of you 😭😭 and looking at those same schools so hoping I can try once more to at least get up to a 322. I’ve already taken it 3 times unfortunately. Tests are awful for me.

I have the same score submitting apps for R2 next week. Do you mind sharing your R1 outcomes? I’m hoping for the best!

Are you also waiting to hear about GSAP? Any chance you’re attending the symposium?

Good luck!

Interviewing question: for anecdotal “tell me abt a time when..”, & similar questions - are you allowed to recycle stories from your undergrad years or do they only look for post grad/work stuff? Afraid some of the stories that sounded okay at undergrad recruiting might now come across as a bit “lightweight” in this context...like would they eye roll if we start talking about that one time we did a science competition sophomore year of college (even though it taught an important lesson)..etc.🤔
