I just took the GMAT and scored above my target overall score. I was targeting a ~750 with a mid 80s math percentile and a mid 90s verbal percentile. However, my math percentile was lower than my target and was impacted by the fact that I mis-timed the break and started a minute and a half late. I am wondering whether my results warrant a re-take or whether I am over thinking the result? The MBA programs I am planning to apply to have a median score of ~730 and a range of 580-790. While I am comfortable that my overall score is above the median, would my math percentile be problematic? I had heard that top MBA programs would like to see percentiles above 80, but on the other hand, have also heard that they just consider the overall score. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks.

Hi - I think you should be in a good position where you are. Congratulations to a great score btw.
Did you have a strong quantitative component in your undergraduate degree? If so, that should probably suffice to show that you have good quantitative ability. If not, I'd recommend the trick that some users here have already posted in other threads: In your optional essay, simply state that you're willing to take additional math classes if required by the admissions committee.
Either way, I think a 770 clearly demonstrates that you are a strong candidate, and I'm sure admissions officers will think the same. So therefore, focus on enhancing other parts of your application - you've ticked the GMAT box!
Best regards

Congratulations, 770 is not an ordinary score. You should not have any issues with Quant score.
