retake the gmat???

Hey,

I got a 710, is it high enough to land a job as an analyst at Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley in London?
I have a 3.6 GPA from a top university (think LSE/LBS/UCL). My friend told me that I wouldn't make it to McKinsey so I thought I would try the investment banking instead. Is it feasible to recruit for an analyst the following year???

Thanks.

 

Your GMAT score is only important for Master's courses that require them.

During job applications I've only seen a section to include a GMAT score once. 710 in itself is still very good but unless you need it for a Master's, it's virtually useless for recruiting.

A degree from one of your listed schools is more than enough to get into a top IBD position in London.
