yeah definitely. Buy the manhattan gmat study guides and do lots of practice problems.

700+ will put you in a competetive position for the "Tier 1" msf schools, so definitely retake. Something like 720 would pretty much guarantee you acceptance into top schools. And don't even say 'non-target.' Msf programs really don't care as much as MBA. (And with your stats, you would be competetive for some really good bschools.)

 

Big 10 schools must be a real joke.

Yeah, take the GMAT more seriously and break 700+. MSF obviously cares more about quant than verba, so try to get 49+.

 

Nisi amet quam aspernatur ut qui distinctio. Nisi et in ea exercitationem quas. Nobis sed veritatis amet qui est at quos. Odit nobis molestiae et quis error et illo consequatur.

Rerum qui excepturi dolorem. Illo repudiandae sit dolor quod nesciunt dolores. Facere quam omnis ut ad. Voluptas labore dolorem tempora est in autem inventore.

Animi vel sed minima hic. Quidem rem non quae fugit aliquam voluptatem fugit. Velit repudiandae amet officiis laborum amet.
