Actually I got in off the WL on the mar 7 decision date...perhaps I'll get a little late season scholarship though? Congrats on your GMAT!

Interesting post. kryzak, I think it is worthy of the knowledge vault (if it isn't already there). This is a question that keeps coming up.

I'm actually thinking about retaking it next spring if I get accepted in the fall. Although 700 (Q48, V38) should be high enough to get accepted to any school, I wouldn't mind getting 720+ just for resume purposes (I'm planning to go into IB)...will only do it if I get "bored" in the spring though.

Well the students I talked to said that a 7xx is all you need, but that some top firms will pay particular attention the quant score. All I was aiming for was a 700 so I am ecstatic with a 740. There are some previous posts on gmatclub about this. One person quoted GS i think it was in the recruiting process saying that they said "well you don't have to have a 750 to get an interview.." meaning that they like the really high scores and that they are looking for "pure mental athletes." So I guess the bottom line is if you want a job at like a BCG or GS, get the highest score you are capable of. By no means will it get you the job, it will just get you more interview opportunities. The biggest reason for my jump from 690 to 740 was manhattan gmat's number properties book, I can't believe I even took the GMAT at all without a solid understanding of prime numbers....the GMAT is obsessed with them I think.
