If you have free extra time, then go for it, take one more time. From this year's experience, I feel impressive working experience is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more important than impressive gmat score. You wanna apply 2013Fall which means you may have 2-2.5 years working experience when you apply. If your target is top 10, I don't think this kind of experience length is enough. In this case, even you can get 760+, I believe that you'll still have a hard time to compete with other applicants who have relative impressive and longer working experience. You can go to check those your target schools admission reports and see those people's backgrounds, then you'll understand the point. Find a great job (big company title), do outstanding works and get promotions or leading projects, have connection with target school alumni, and write a wonderful essay. These things are as important as a high GMAT score. If your target is 10~20 schools, then I think 740 is pretty enough, not really outstanding but higher than average. Believe or not, Gmat score is just a portion of the whole application. Just like T score, once you pass certain score, I don't think it makes much different. 740, 760, 780..... I don't think it will really become the major point which causes you get or lose the admission. However, just like I said at the beginning, if you have time, why not? -- by 会员 littlexian (2011/4/21 11:51:56)
谢谢指导!
大家这么多耐心的回复让我实在感动,也觉得自己没必要为了GMAT高分耗费大量的机会成本了,同样的时间可以用来去提高别的,比如今年有一次promotion的机会,我应该去抓住。而且偶AWA是6分,不敢保证重考一次能不能还是6分了,这个实在难以保证。我想既然自己工作经验相对较短,我最应该提高的是工作上的成绩,所以,就不再纠结G了吧,let go |
