Took the GMAT 2 years ago and got a 710 (Q49, V36). Is that still enough? ORM, 3.5 UG engineering GPA from top school, 4 year exp when enrolling, currently a consultant at Deloitte s&a. Targeting non HSW M7 + tuck, Yale - applying next year. Not sure if it’s just this forum, but feels like people are placing increasing emphasis on the gmat? For some context, I’ve already taken the gmat 4 times

I’d give the GRE a shot since you’re maxing out on GMAT attempts. Both test scores are viewed equally.

I know someone (white F) with 740, 3.9 UG math and physics from a top school, 3ish YOE at BCG with decent EC got dinged at HW and hasn’t heard from S yet.

You probably should retry one last time or GRE if possible

funny

Unless you’ve got some really compelling volunteer or extracurriculars going on, I’d suggest chasing a higher score.

Though if they’ve taken it 4 times, then they can probably focus elsewhere in their profile to improve their application.

H and S not happening with that profile bro.

This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet
