[求助]GMAT700, 要不要再考？烦ing

angelzycat

总结一下:

如果明年只要求10名以后学校的录取,700当然是不错的了,

可是如果你有别的想法, 最好到740分以上, 这样自己心里面才踏实.

重考吧.越高越好.信息不对称.美国人只有最认这个.

说的到位之极。

郑重建议重考。现在录取是一个近乎无本游戏，已经完全象中国的股市了。熟悉游戏规则，比如经常24小时泡在CD上的人，机会大得多。唯一让美国人相信的，就是GMAT。

越高越好。最好780，只要你ESSAY不犯错，基本沃顿可以给INTERVIEW。经历编的离奇煽情一点，最好是在非洲的妇联工作，大学时去好望角拣过浆果，能吹就吹，越海越吹，ESSAY多捣浆糊，展开联想的翅膀，那么Stanford有戏。

一个上海交通大学的，本科混混，也没有好好工作，停薪留职一年多，专攻考试（780)和写ESSAY，给他混进STANFORD。如果有人不服，就差点名了。

不要再烦恼了！

我现在就是后悔没有重考！

750可以拿好多的奖学金的！ESSAY不犯错，大编特编，口语不烂，外形不秽，基本有戏！

这是沉痛的教训！

而且很多高手告诉我：只要重考多次，得高分的概率只会越来越大！

完全同意楼上几位重考的建议。

时代在变化，对中国学生可能最能评估的还是一些硬指标。除非你有好望角的工作经历。

这次付出，绝对值的。

If Admissions Committee of any US MBA schools have visited this forum, I can guaranttee you they won't admit any more Chinese applicants. Why? because they do not like people who only care about results. If a person's only motivation to do something is to get results and then show to the others, do you think he/she will care about the society? I have been in US for more than ten years. Do they care about results? Yes, they do, but through an incremental way. The most common way leading most American people to success is to take initiative, volunteer work, help people, work hard, accumulate credit, have impact, and finally get promotion or recognition.

In fact, I totally support your opinion. But, the problem is our guys, Chineses, have fewer opportunities to talk with admission officers face to face than do Americans, the action which is very important in application. So, we have to admit that GMAT is one of few valuable things we can provide, and we also have to admit that some B-schools, especially whose ranking is around 20~50, take GMAT score seriously. Of course, if we were at the same line with other American applicants, we should not keep our eyes in GMAT insanely.

建议不要相信以上的话。这是冠冕堂皇的假话。给你一条高胜算公式（如果其他部分不要犯错）：

High GMAT+Big Blue Chip+Top Undergrad (PKU, TSINGHUA, JIAOTONG, FUDAN)。

这里唯一可以努力的，就是GMAT。

现在的学校已经越来越势利了。这是一个事实。几年前的申请经验，已经不适用。

GMAT is just one thing in your application. I have the same GMAT score
like you (the Q and V are also the same). I got interview invitation
from Wharton. Besides, as we know, Columbia also likes guys with high
GMAT. But i ask the same question to Linda, assistant dean Columbia,
last year during the information session. She told me if I retake it, i
might be a nut. I also got interview invitation from Columbia.



What i wanna say is if you could feel more comfortable or confident
with high GMAT, and if u have free time, just retake it. but as u
mentioned...it's very time-consuming and energy-consuming.  I
believe high GMAT is definitely a plus for ur application. but if u r
strong enough in other aspects, just put much effort on your essays.



p.s. what i mean high GMAT is higher than 750....if u get 720 or 730...it won't have difference with 700.....

If you are sure that you can get higher than 740, I suggest that you go ahead to take it again.  It will help but not determinate.  I got same score as you and was admitted by one OK business school.

难道真的700和720, 730没区别么?
