Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Q47 (68%), V45 (99%), 740 Total (97%)
Context:
Ivy engineer (highly quantitative), 3.6 GPA
Will be in a rotational leadership program at a bank for technology for next 2 years minimum.
Female, U.S. born and bred
Decided to take exam on a whim before graduating, minimal studying but I just am not good at GMAT math.
Honestly, I think it's pretty decent, but my quant scores just aren't congruent with my background in hardcore engineering. I mean.. 68th percentile?! Verbal is okay, but honestly I was a little disappointed, I scored like 47-48 on both practice exams.
I would like to be admitted to a top 3-5 program w/in 5 years (scores are only good that long anyway)... would this score be competitive? Do I need to retake?
I basically don't know anything about b-school admissions and what constitutes a good GMAT score. Give it to me straight! Thanks.

I think you also have to see and investigate what the school requirements are. For example INSEAD would insist you have a balance score with both quant and verbal at the 75% range.

If you can demonstrate quantitative aptitude in other areas (e.g. your transcript) you should be competitive with a thoughtfully constructed application. Women engineers are rare, and even more rare as b-school applicants, so you have some real advantages. The schools only report the total GMAT score in their rankings, so they will be excited by your score if they can be convinced you can handle the quant parts of the program, which I am sure you can.
