Need Gmat advice
Today I took the Gmat Focus Exam, and I scored 645, which according to the official website is equivalent to a score of 700 on the old GMAT format. I took the exam in the following order: Quant reasoning > Data Insights > Verbal reasoning. In the second half of the verbal reasoning part, for some reason I could no longer focus. My score in the verbal section was significantly worse than usual, and consequently my entire score was lower than I hoped for.
Since I am aiming for MSc in finance or financial engineering (it would be my seconds MSc) at schools like LBS, LSE, Imperial, and a few of the top schools in the US (all of them have average gmat score around 700 on the old GMAT format), do you think I should take the test again?
The rest of my profile:
I am already pursuing a masters degree (fairly quantitatively focused) which I will graduate with the highest honors and almost perfect GPA. I have two internships ( in M&A and Asset Management), and I am a head of one of the most prestigious student associations/clubs in my country, plus some courses in python programming and financial modeling.
If you truly believe you could have done a bit better, definitely take it again. They typically offer more scholarship money for higher scores (at least in the US)
Thank you for the response.
What do you think about this score from the perspective of accepatnce to programmes such as LSE MFIN or LBS MFA? Is it a disadvantage or pretty much neutral?
