It depends on what kind of B-schools u r aiming for. However top B-schools stress more weigh on you profile than GMAT score. Well 690 is good score. If u r aiming for 750 then retaking is worthy to decide.

hi Anand,

Thanx for ur post....Well, I would be probably aiming for 20-30 top US schools..and a few in europe like HEC/ESADE or Rotman/Ivey in Canada...

I was just wondering if there is any difference between 690 and 700/710..... coz i am not pretty hopeful to hit a 750 (Seeing the trouble they put to a Non-American at times in RC:smile:), but I am sure i can get around 710-720...

Wats ur take !!!

If money is not ur concern then go for it. Lotts of Indian's aim for the above college & believe me 80% of them were above 700 score. Indian and Chienese are headstrongs in IQ. If I were you then I will go for retaking provided if my work profile matches their work profile. All we have to show that we are BLACKSHEEP in whitesheep crowd or vice versa:wink1:.
