I am a 22 year old Asian American female who was born in the USA but grew up in Asia. I attended American schools while in Asia and only returned to the States for college. I graduated from a university in Washington, DC within three years with a 3.80 GPA (summa cum laude, majoring in Communications and minoring in Business Administration), along with various leadership positions (Teaching Assistant, Office Director for a Model UN conference, president of the ballroom club), honorable mentions and a senior thesis under my belt. My current extracurricular activities/hobbies include: YMCA volunteer; Garfield Elementary School volunteer; competitive Pre-Championship ballroom dancer; and coach for a local ballroom team.

Since graduating in 2011, I worked as a Human Resources Assistant at a national law firm for 8 months before transferring to an international law firm as the Attorney Recruiting Assistant (have now worked here for almost a year). I had planned on applying to several top 10 MBA programs this Fall (Stanford, Harvard, London Business School), so that I can begin my studies in 2014. With my international background and bilingual proficiency, I wanted to focus on international business consulting. This is a major shift in career and industry, which is why I wanted to enroll in an MBA program after only 2-3 years of working full-time.

I took my first GMAT in February 2012 and my scores were:

Verbal: 35 / 74%
Quantitative: 44 / 63%
Total: 640 / 73%
Analytical Writing: 6.0 / 90%

Since all the scores were too low for top MBA programs, I took it a second time in April 2012 (2 months later) and scored:

Verbal: 40 / 90%
Quantitative: 42 / 57%
Total: 670 / 84%
Analytical Writing: 6.0 / 90%

As you can see, my issue is with the quantitative section. It does not help that my undergraduate major was not quantitative-based and even though I minored in Business Administration (and did very well in all those courses), the minor means I only took a few Finance, Economics and Accounting classes.

My specific questions are: what are my chances of getting into a top MBA program with my second GMAT score? Should I start studying again (after a year's hiatus) and take the GMAT a third time? Or will taking an online quantitative course (such as mbamath) be enough to offset such a low quantitative score on my GMAT?

Any other suggestions and advice on my profile would be very helpful as well. Thank you very much!
