Re: 670-high verbal, very low quant- should I cancel my score? [#permalink]
Thank you very much for your feedback, it keeps me motivated, as I felt quite disappointed when I saw that quant score.

I was wondering if simply cancelling this score and thus pretending it never existed would be better for my overall application (I’m aiming at INSEAD)?

True, keeping this score means keeping a great verbal score, but it also shows the adcom that I’m able to score poorly in quant... If I cancel, they will never see I scored poorly in quant.

I am wondering what are the advantages / value add of keeping this core vs cancelling it. I still have 48hrs to cancel my score and I clearly have no idea what to do…

If on my second official GMAT test, I score let’s say 71% in quant and 80% in verbal, well verbal will still be good, quant better but not amazing. So they might think, given I passed the exam twice, she’s good at verbal, but average in quant.. Wouldn’t it be better to cancel my first score and start fresh with a clean plate?

Many thanks again for you strong support and feedback !!

Hiya-- time may have already passed, and it's up to you, but I've yet to come across a b-school whose policy is not to take the HIGHEST score (not average or factor in a lower score etc... reason is because the test is adaptive, theoretically you can't out-perform your ability... but you can always have an off or poor day, hence a lower score that they wouldn't focus on. But just all food for thought.
