Strongly recommend retaking GMAT. A high score shows your commitment and efforts to make improvements.

If my memory serves well, last year the average GMAT of Yale accepted students almost hit 730. As a Chinese applicant, compared to the peers, you have less choice to make it through. And it's not hard  as your quantative is way too low. As a Chinese, if you spend some more time, it's all possible to get full score, which allows your to achieve around 730.  Good luck!

其实我觉得都做了最后很可能还是无用，不过楼主的g的确还有很大的提高空间。

建议你把2，3项再整理整理，这两样相对快立竿见影。提高GMAT成绩重考是需要一些时间的，当然时间允许的话你也考起来，祝顺利！

Hey there—as a Chinese applicant, (as you likely know) the bar for GMAT scores is higher than that for US citizens.  So if you feel like you do have a shot at raising your GMAT score, you should do so.  Now, if your sense is that you don’t have a great shot at raising the score, then don’t worry about it—it is only worth it if you DO have a good chance at driving that score up.  Since you got a 6.0 on the AWA, Ive gotta believe that if you studied a bit, you COULD get your verbal score up.  That’s what I’d do, if possible.  Hope this helps!

Thank you very much Jon Frank for your advices I would keep your words in mind. I would like to further ask how applicants are divided into country pools. While my ethnicity is Chinese, my nationality is another country. In this case, would I be put in the country pool of China or the other country?


May I also ask your advices on the scope of the essay clarifying career goals and letter of interest confirming my interest in the school? I am a bit confused on how to set the scope to provide new insights to the AdCom on my career goals and why Yale. Many thanks in advance!

其实学校有回复就说明希望还是很大的，LZ把GT考高一点应该就比较有把握了
我的推荐信就是一个YALE的PHD+JD写的，非常出色的一个人，是我的偶像，可惜我没来得及申请SOM

I got 700 at the beginning.  finally got 760 after completing all the guidebook Qs.  Of course, managed to understand almost every one.  did not do any other exercise.  So it's very likely to improve your score after 2 to 3 weeks' work.  of course, you need to be serious and confident on it.

don't know if you should reset your goals.  I guess maybe the stories from your goals and other essays/experiences don't match well.  or the goal itself is not clear enough.  better to show your essays to someone for advice.
