700:retake?

by a-m Sun Aug 19, 2012 6:47 am

hello all,
I embarked on the gmat journey a month ago, after deciding that I wanted to pursue a masters in management pre-experience at hec/essec after graduating. I am currently in my penultimate year reading engineering at oxford(uk), my work experience includes banking and academia.
I got 700 in my GMAT (90% V and a shocking 73%Q-first attempt, as stated 1 month preparation) and now am unsure whether a retake would be sensible or not.
A major point of concern would be the AWA score: I ran out of time and the conclusion is written in short-hand.
I'd be grateful for any piece of advice you could give me, as I am still quite unfamiliar with the b-school world but fiercely determined to reach my goal.
all best,
a-m
