Lopsided GMAT
[#permalink]

I just took the GMAT today and got a REALLY lopsided score. I have always been better at verbal than math, but this was probably the most extreme score I've received (verbal high, math low).
Here's the breakdown:
Math: 57%
Verbal: 99%
Total Score: 720
I'll be honest. This is a much better overall score than I had hoped for, but I am not kidding myself that it's not all verbally based. It seems inconceivable to retake the GMAT with an overall score that I love, but I know that a lot of schools are more interested in the math ( I think I timed out 1-2 questions from the end of the math section... a big NO-NO).
Can someone advise whether I should retake this?
(I just took a UCLA Math Class and got an A, so that may make up for this messy math score). Also, the only top 10 school I will applying to is Berkeley.
Thank you- I don't want to whine about a good score- I'm just afraid that it will be INTERPRETED as a much lower overal score once schools look at the breakdown.
