A 730 is pretty damn good lol

likeupliftingfunny

I would not. No one is getting turned away for a 730. Yes It’s a check and not a check plus but if your application with a 730 doesn’t get you in, your application with a 750 is not likely to move the needle. Put that time and effort into the application

Are you white or Asian male? If so and if you have time, yeah you should try and retake but don’t kill your self. Getting a 760 770 etc in itself really does help you in those groups because the average just is a lot higher for those groups

Stop being so smart the

My concern is that most other aspects of my application are also pretty average so doesn’t feel like a slam dunk to any 1 M7

I had a 730. White male with 3.5yr exp. Got into an M7

Hear back from another in 10 days and feel good about it. But I’d say getting into any is enough. They’re all crapshoots.

Depends. What’s your Q and V breakdown?

Same problem. Q49 v42 or so. Opted not to and applying this year

If you’re a Bain AC you’re doing fine lol. If not, you’re still positioned pretty well to do well as a consultant as long as you make sure to round out the rest of your application (volunteering, extra curriculars, essays, etc)

Reality is almost nothing is a slam dunk- M7 loves rejecting people with super high GMAT scores. Unless you are a white or Asian male I’d say a 730 is going to “check the box” - no need to retake. Focus on other parts of your application

Breakdown is 49Q 41V if that makes it easier to answer the question

You are good. Work on other parts of the app

Don’t re take. You people are crazy. Got into 2 M7 with a 720

Amway (Direct Sales/MLM) is a pyramid scheme right? Randomly met a guy in a grocery store (he commented on my shoes) and he brought it up after talking about how it’d be nice to leave our 9-5. He didn’t provide any details and kept saying how he wants to make sure I’m serious about the commitment and wants to meet up every week to get to know me. He straight up said Amway has a lot of backlash online but the way he and his mentor do it is different and is not ‘pyramid schemey’ like the others.
