Hey All,
Interested in hearing your thoughts about whether or not it's necessary to retake the GMAT.
Current Profile:
Undergraduate Business Major at a Top 25 public state school
GPA: 3.97
Minor in International Business and Economics
Studied Abroad in China & India
Plenty of EC's
3 internships in a variety of positions including logistics, operations, and strategy consulting.
Starting full-time working in management consulting for a T2 firm.
Practice GMAT Scores:
GMAT Prep 1: 700: Q47 V38
Kaplan 1: 680: Q48 V41
Kaplan 2: 690: Q48 V41
GMAT Prep 2: 710: Q48 V38
Question:
Received my unofficial score today.
GMAT: 710: Q46 V42 (66%, 96%)
I've spent about an hour looking through similar scenarios of low quant/high verbal and most talk about the 80/80 threshold for top schools. Obviously if I didn't want to retake, I would have to justify my low quant score with math course grades/other examples of math success. Do you all believe this would overcome the 80/80 threshold or should I just suck it up and retake?
Cheers,
M
P.S. - I realize many of these posts are related to debriefing and sharing your experiences with others.
My Debrief:
Books & materials used
Kaplan Premier 2014
Manhattan GMAT Prep Books
Length of Study:
Mid-Nov. to Mid-Dec 2013 and all of July 2014 (Kaplan Premier in the Winter, Manhattan GMAT in the Summer)
1 - 4 hours a day; average of 2 hours
Words of Advice
Once you're serious about taking the GMAT, sign up for it. I ended up falling off with my studying the first time around since there wasn't that date to hold me accountable.
Targeted practice is important. Most of my practice was not as productive as it could have/should have been. The GMATClub quant tests are gold. Don't waste them early like I did.
If any of you have questions, specific or general, feel free to shoot them out.

The weak quant is a little bit of a concern - but it's probably not worth retaking -- as you risk scoring lower than 99% in verbal. Your background in business and economics is relevant -- hopefully your GPA is decent. For the most part, you should be OK with where you are at.
Definitely agree that actually booking a test gives you a deadline and sense of urgency that can help push you to study and focus.
