Hi fellow applicants!
I'm striving to decide wheter to apply for Sloan. As you guys can see on my profile, which is listed below, I scored a Q44 on the GMAT. Two people told me that is very hard to get into Sloan with this grade. Hence, I ask your oppinion about the 44 dilema and if you know someone who was succesful with such a "low" grade.
- Male, 33, Brazilian, Engineer
- 7 year experience in the Telecom industry
- Ugrad GPA (while at University of Maryland) 3.4/4.0. Then got transfered to a Brazilian top-tier school where I got a 6.6/10.0
- Grad GPA 2.7/3.0 --> Currently ranked#1 in the class
- GMAT: 690 (Q44 V40)
Target Schools:
Booth
MIT
Berkeley
Kellogg
Tuck
Ross
Duke
Thanks!!!!

Hi brz,
Welcome. Firstoff, If you haven't already done so, I think you could benefit from reaching out to some of the admissions consultants that offer profile evaluations here on GmatClub. Here's the link:
admission-consultants-124/Regarding your low quant score, I'm in the same boat and suffer from a low overall/quant score, even lower than yours. Having said that, adcoms do take into consideration your undergrad GPA and major. Engineering students are obviously going to be able to handle the quant portion of MBA curriculum. I studied Finance so hopefully my theory holds true
Ultimately, if you feel the rest of your profile will warrant a second look from adcoms, I'd say go for it. Especially if (like me) MIT is your dream school. You'll never know if you don't try, right? Without even knowing someone personally, I'm sure in the past few years, more than a handful of lucky guys and girls with a 'low quant score' have gained admission. Why not you? (and me! haha)
