If you don't score 80% in Q for Haas, they will make you either take a math waiver exam or show them record of a math class taken recently (I think within the last 3 or 5 years?).

And somewhere on Cornell's website, they say they would like to see at least 70% for V and 65% for Q.

As for me, my score was VERY imbalanced with a low verbal (but perfect AWA)...Did not give me too big of an issue :)

So I imagine a 720, with Q 77 percentile, V 95th percentile, 5.5 AWA should be no problem then? Good to know!

Wharton's website specifically says "The total GMAT and GRE score, as well as each section of the test, is evaluated. There are no minimum cut-off scores, though we are concerned about verbal and quantitative section values that fall below the 80% threshold. If you're disappointed with your test score and believe that with additional preparation you could improve your score, then we encourage you to retake the test. We always consider your highest total test score."

Clearly 80/80 is important.

In my experience a good gpa and grades in relevant coursework can make up for a bad breakdown. A good score can't fix a bad gpa. Put another way, it is easy to believe in the kid who is just a poor standardized test taker. It takes a lot more faith to believe in the test taking wizard who managed to fail calc yet somehow is gonna turn it all around this time.
