Should I retake Gmat?

wucheng73

Thanks for all the suggestions!

probably I am not going to take gmat again. If MBA can not be worked out, I will think about other ways.

thanks again.

我觉得楼主考GMAT还不如参加点non-profit的活动,写简历的时候也多点东西.

或者去拿个certificate什么,比如CMA,CFA一级什么,展现自己多方面的兴趣和为

MBA做准备.PHD给人的印象太学术了,而且GMAT已经740,考的更高只回更让学校把

你当作整天实验室里埋头苦干的人.

以上我的一些个人想法

同意。问题绝对不是出在分数上，所以在这个方向上努力也是徒劳。

LZ如果把二战的精力和时间用在ESSAY上，肯定会有好消息的。

good luck~!

重考如果考不到790，800意义不是很大

没offer的原因一定是其他的，比如工作经验

既然那么爱考就继续考，目标不是780，而是800！！！

I think your GMAT score is high enough. It is better to save your time on essays. What kind of working experience do you have? Academia (Postdoc.?) or Industry? If in Industry, you should try to get business related duties.

i don't think i am overqualified anyway.

I have 4 years working experience.

i did put enough time on essays, only 2 or 3 hours maybe. another reason is my under's GPA is quite low.

hohoo

phd+gmat740....... any working experience?
I don't know why Vandy reject you. Maybe you are over qualified, since they even take unders.

now i think gmat is really not that important..... I also published a lot of papers, i don't think the adcoms will even look at the papers...

so academics is just a part, even not the most important part.
