Thanks for your feedback Karishma. I don't have a Quant background (Social Sciencies major) and haven't really done any extensive quantitative work in my current carreer - that's why I'm a little worried that schools are going to take my non-stellar quant negatively. I had a very short time to prepare for the GMAT (1 month) and I do feel I could improve my score. However, I'm looking to apply for the fall semester and don't have time to take the test again; I would have to push back my application until next year. I have a 3.8 GPA, interesting background (will make for good essays), and will have strong rec letters, but I don't know how much the Quant score is going to pull me back.
P.S. Your blog is awesome and was extremely helpful during my studying. Keep it up!
Dmitry - thanks for the feedback. Let me know your thoughts about the above.
Thanks!!
If the rest of your application is strong, the adcom might overlook your Quant score. Make your essays very interesting - it's not just what you have to write about, it's also how you write it.
As an added measure, if the timelines match up, you can enroll for a short calculus/statistics/accounting course in your local college or take an online course. If you are able to write that currently you are taking so and so Quant based course, it could mitigate your relatively lower Quant score. (An admissions consultant could give you more ideas.)
Wishing you the best in your application!
